  • It's Jackfruit Season!!!!!!! 🥰 In this video we show you how we select the Jackfruits for harvesting and packing to send to our agent in Melbourne.
    The process got interrupted by a cheeky cassowary who decided to come through the fencing and into the farm. Never a dull moment! 🤣

    seeing you be upset about the noodles but then immediately going to improve them is amazing and inspiring to me! i would've given up but you didn't and i really respect that! I love your videos. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

    I must say guys your videos are making me want to try jackfruit again. I have tried it a few times it was ok but not in the same league as durian, thinking I should give it a go again. Any recommendation on best varieties? I hear j33 is very good as well as one coming from fruit forest farm called Malibu however these are not available locally.

      If you have the space why not, I believe someone in Cairns sells j33, maybe ask on Oz rare fruit fb site.

    Hi! I would like to ask if how do you clean jackfuit after harvest and where do you store it before packing?For educational purposes only. Thank you so much in advance!

    • @meadowcroftfarmqld8577

      We clean our fruit in water with 10 percent bleach (this is permitted organic treatment) and then it goes into a cold room set at 11 degrees. This will slow down the ripening of the fruit so that it isn't over ripening when it gets to market.

    I was wondering if it would be more profitable for u to open the fruit and take out the edible parts and place them in small size plastic containers and sell them ready to eat at a farmers market or develop your own list of private or commercial customers.
    This way u get a better price and get to keep the flesh for mulching or composting purposes.

      It is something we have looked into, especially for packaging green jackfruit, but the cost set up, a building, equipment, and all stainless steel benches would be a significant outlay.

    I bought a jackfruit that is 27 pounds but it is still spiky and it does not smell very much. Will it ripen up or will I have to eat it green

      @@andrewhill1391 if it's the male flowers that are turning brown and going mouldy that is normal, female flowers usually begin to develop a few weeks after the males.

    Do you hand pollinate the jackfruit flower to produce fruit?
