While at the Willunga Farmers Markets near McLaren Vale, I spoke with Judith McBain from Blue Cottage Almonds about her Australian Almonds. When Judith first started off growing almonds in the Fleurieu Peninsula there were over 70 growers, nowadays there are just 6.
Blue Cottage Almonds grows three varieties of Almonds, the Johnston, Somerton and Parkinson in either raw, roasted or salted. Every week, Judith sells her almonds at the Willunga Farmers Market as well as via email and direct to restaurants. They sell the majority via the Willunga Farmers Market and has literally saved their business.
I must say that after filming this video, Judith gave me a bag of the Johnston Almonds which were lightly salted and they were the best almonds I’ve ever tasted.
