The Lime Grove is the biggest lime business in Australia. This business was the inspirational concept of owner Susie Collett, who came about idea when she noticed a niche in the Australian rural sector. This overlooked fruit was the lime, and Susie decided she was going to squeeze into the industry. 20 years later her business idea has flourished and the Lime Grove is now the biggest lime orchard in Australia with 10,000 lime trees.

Susie took time to choose the site for her lime growing business and after researching the conditions needed to grow lime trees, she decided on a small town in the Macquarie Valley, Narromine. Its good underground water supply, lack of pests, established citrus environment and the long hot dry days made it the perfect location.

Susie delivered her first commercial crop of limes, around 15 tonnes, to the Sydney markets in 1991. These days the Lime Grove pre sells around 200 tonnes of lime direct to the consumer each year. Susie has also diversified her business and has developed a Lime Grove product range, which is sold in delis around Australia. She utilizes the limes not sold, by making them into delicious Lime Grove products such as conserves, oils, cordials and marinades.

These products are also available at the new Lime Grove Café, which serves mouth-watering lime inspired meals and drinks. The Lime Grove is located in Narromine, on the Macquarie River in Western NSW. It is open seven days a week to visitors who wish to take a tour around the amazing Aussie orchard.
