They are a wonderful seller on Ebay, Facebook and their own website, with extremely affordable prices. They are quite knowledgeable as well if you need help. They also sell native bush tucker seeds. In November 2014 we donated well over 80 packs of seeds, plus gloves and small garden tools to help some of our 47 remote communities grow their own tucker. Tiwi, Melville and Bathurst Islands were the first recipients and within a very short space of time, all their seeds were sprouting. We continue to collect and donate seeds and equipment all year round so all 47 communities will have healthy food for their starving communities to eat.
