The Kandanga Farm store is a rural retailer, offering products and support for regenerative and organic farmers across Australia. The regenerative and organic space is growing rapidly, and the Farm Store has cemented a reputation as the leading business for products and service in this space.

A strong focus on providing an enjoyable instore experience also creates a point of difference to other rural retail businesses and attracts non-farming customers searching for produce with provenance, and lifestyle products.

The business has been highly publicised (including featuring on ABC Television Landline three times) as an example of a contributor to regional community rebuilding and resilience as well as its pioneering approach to regenerative and organic rural retail. It has an active social media following and attracts clients from across Australia.

In addition to the rural supply business, the Farm Store building contains a commercial kitchen and licensed cafe space. This large facility has been both rented to third-party café operators and run as an integrated Farm to Fork café and venue catering for workshops and special events.

Destination based agritourism for the Mary Valley region continues to grow because of proximity to both the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast markets. The Kandanga Farm Store has led regional Agritourism offering workshops and special events with tickets generally selling out within hours.

Trending upwards since inception, sales were somewhat impacted during the COVID years mainly due to extreme supply chain disruption and government mandates but this also demonstrated the resilience of the business.

Skilled staff are in place, and a new owner/impact investor - with a keen interest, and some knowledge of the organic, regenerative market would be ideally placed to continue to develop the business per its current trajectory.
