Costa Group

From the local fruit and veg shop in downtown Geelong to an international company successfully farming, packing and marketing we know what it means to be well grown.

For us, it’s about drawing on our roots and staying true to our values as we deal with the challenges of our time and adapt to a new future of farming. It’s about learning to work together in changing climates and ensuring we keep producing food that’s fresh, affordable and nutritious.

We’re on a mission to celebrate well grown while setting the standard in sustainable commercial farming. It’s all part of sharing healthy food on a scale that’s large enough to nourish Australia and beyond. Together we’re growing a future of real food.
