Rosnay is an organic farm that was planned and created by the Statham family in 1995-1997, and which is now a part of Rivers Road Organic Farms, a unique model of cooperative organic farming using Community Title. Rosnay is certified by Organic Food Chain, which is a small, grassroots and farmer-owned certification company based in Toowoomba, QLD.
The vines and orchards have never been sprayed with harmful chemicals, a passion that began with Richard’s father Clive Statham. The family’s wine heritage begins on the other side of the family, with Florence’s french grandfather, Alberic Dulong de Rosnay, after whom the farm is named.
We farm organically because it is possible. We are convinced that chemicals should not be used to produce food. We are not convinced that simply fermenting grapes magically removes chemical residues. In fact, we believe that fermentation and digestion are metabolic processes that can alter the toxicity of chemicals, in ways which are poorly understood.
Rosnay was recognised as a pioneer in organic farming in 2012, when Sam Statham was awarded the Inaugural NSW Organic Pioneers Award.
We source our fresh produce from Family Farms all over Australia. We have co-operative trading agreements with Growers and Suppliers extending over 22 years ensuring the produce our customers receive is of the highest quality. Some of our Supplies are exclusive to Lettuce Deliver ensuring quantities are small and quality extremely high. Growers are paid a fair price for their produce ensuring there will be more produce available next season.
Being passionate about fruit and veg is the basis of our huge range of fresh produce.
We offer our customers seasonal boxes as well as welcome tailored orders ... just start shopping! You can also set up a 'repeating order' that you change, pause or cancel by signing into your account.

The Achacha is a highly prized tropical fruit. It has been cultivated for many years in small holdings and domestic orchards in Bolivia’s Amazon Basin. In its home country it is known as achachairú, however given the Aussie propensity for abbreviation, the last three letters have been dropped and the name Achacha adopted – think of the dance and add an A in front.
Taste
Delicious, refreshing, exotic, tangy, effervescent . . . no wonder the name translates as “honey kiss”!
It is refreshing to eat at ambient temperature, but even more stunning when served cold or even frozen. There is a fine balance between its sweetness and its acidity, creating a unique taste sensation.
