Our History
This orchard began with a leap of faith.
In 2008, Rose Yeoman and Paul Robinson purchased an 80-acre property in Manjimup, Western Australia, drawn by the region’s rich soils and the potential to grow prized black truffles. With backgrounds in science and a shared curiosity for the natural world, they approached truffle growing as both an experiment and a long-term commitment.
In November 2009, alongside family and friends, they planted 2,300 oak and hazelnut trees, each inoculated with black truffle fungus. Years of careful tending followed, and in 2014 the orchard produced its first truffles, harvested with trained dogs. This foundational chapter shaped the farm through patience, observation, and a deep respect for the balance between art and science.
Our Commitment
Today, the orchard enters a new chapter.
We are a young, family-run operation, proud to care for this land and continue the work begun before us. Building on strong foundations, we’re shaping our own story—one rooted in stewardship, seasonal rhythms, and a close connection to both place and community.
For us, truffles reflect healthy soil, time, and quiet work done well. We grow, hunt, and share them with respect for the land and the people who have shaped it, knowing that this story continues to unfold beneath the trees and forest floor, season by season.
