Three and a half hours south of Perth is Western Australia’s one and only walnut producers from the rich soils in Manjimup. Omega Walnuts are unlike any other in the world.

• Omega Walnuts have the unique design of the production cracking line.
• The great thing about working at Omega Walnuts is because they are doing something a little bit different there’s that versatility and opportunity to explore different avenues with regards to production, packaging, development in growing the trees to achieve the perfect product.
• Omega started about 10 years ago on a 5-acre block- just a family property looking for something to plant on a hobby farm. They started planting walnut trees and the more they researched and learnt about the growth the family became more and more enthusiastic about them.
• There are great benefits to walnuts in terms of health: there’s cardiovascular benefits, they can help with weight loss, diabetes and they help with serotonin production.
• Omega are always finding new ways to manage the property by trying to compliment more convectional practices with low environmental impact practices and biological controls to remove chemicals wherever they can.
