In this episode of Boots Off Log On!, we’re excited to welcome two special guests, farmers Jos Webber and David Peasley. They share their firsthand experiences of cultivating coffee in Australia, taking us through the unique challenges and rewards of the industry. Based in New South Wales, Jos and David offer insights into their journey of building a reputation for Aussie-grown coffee.
One thing that attracted us to coffee was that there was no chemicals used to spray on the trees or on the fruit.
They also introduce us to the Australian Coffee Growers' Manual, a guide they created to help other growers—new and experienced alike—learn the ropes of coffee farming. With practical advice on everything from picking the best location to keeping pests in check, their manual aims to make coffee farming easier and more successful.
Throughout the conversation, Jos and David open up about what sets Australian coffee apart and its distinctive qualities. They also discuss the potential for this industry to expand and become a part of the Australian agricultural landscape. Tune in for a fascinating look at how innovation and determination are driving the Australian coffee industry forward.
