Emu Ridge Eucalyptus and Craft Gallery
Farmers and Distillers of 100% Pure Australian Eucalyptus Oil

Emu Ridge has a genuine belief in the need for sound environmental management in every aspect of what we do. The farming land is more commercially viable and ultimately self sustaining through revegetation and farming of our natural resources. This has meant a change in direction from general farming practices i.e. from wool production and grain cropping to farming our native vegetation which nature has spent thousand of years developing specifically for our environment.

Our main concern is the redevelopment and preservation of the natural environment. Most importantly, we want to farm without the use of chemicals or sprays. Waste products are recycled and utilized throughout the distilling process, thus helping to preserve the environment. The boiled leaves from the "old cook" are reused as a fuel for the fire in the distillery, and also as sterile mulch. We are responsible for our own water and electricity. The business operates solely on solar, wind and steam power.

With continued media exposure and guided tours of the site we are increasing awareness, promoting and publicising ecologically sound land utilization and management. These ideals have ultimately provided a unique experience for tourists.

Our Vision For The Future

"Emu Ridge Believes Our Natural Resources Are Our Greatest Assets".

Our vision has this statement in mind at all times. What we would like to see is continued growth not only in our business, but in the knowledge of our resources and the use of them in a sustainable way.

At this stage Emu Ridge produces its oil from approximately 130 acres of natural scrubland and plantation area. Of our 650 acres of land, only 20% is being utilized. However, our goal is to re-vegetate the whole farm with not only the native Eucalyptus, but also many other species of native vegetation.
