Jojoba Natural

In 1990 the Felton-Taylor's made a decision to stop growing wheat on their mixed farming property and they looked around for something else to do. An agronomist and our accountant had put together a prospectus on jojoba. It sounded good – it was a desert plant, the seed stored well, weevils didn’t eat it, they could use existing farming equipment and it had multiple uses from lubricating high performance gear boxes to cosmetics.

They planted their first bushes in 1995 and now they find it hard to resist experimenting with different jojoba cosmetic products. Though they now sell jojoba to all states of Australia, to Asia and to Europe, it is the interaction with people at fairs like Bush Christmas that makes their business truly enjoyable.
