Woolworths grant powers Fat Goose Fruits’ sustainable future with eWater

At eWater, we are proud to support businesses like Fat Goose Fruits, a family-owned organic farm in Renmark, South Australia. The Howie family—Humphrey, Michelle, and their son Laurence—are deeply committed to sustainable, organic farming practices. To ensure their new packing shed adheres to their organic principles, they chose eWater for cleaning and sanitising their produce without the use of traditional chemicals.

Recently, Fat Goose Fruits received a $500,000 grant from the Woolworths Organic Growth Fund, which will kickstart their plans to construct a state-of-the-art fruit packing shed equipped with advanced grading technology.

By using eWater’s systems, Fat Goose Fruits is able to maintain strict organic standards while ensuring the safety and quality of their citrus, fruits, and nuts. What’s more, our solutions have helped them extend the shelf life of their products, all while eliminating the need for harsh cleaning chemicals in their operations. 

"eWater has enabled us to clean and sanitise our fruit in a certified organic manner, perfectly aligned with our growing methods. Being organic, we couldn’t use fungicides, so the team at eWater helped us find a solution that not only meets our needs but also extends the shelf life of our fruit. Plus, having eWater onsite means no extra cleaning chemicals for the shed or hand washing."

eWater is certified as an Allowed Input for organic food production under the Australian Certified Organic (ACO) Standard. This certification ensures that our systems meet the rigorous environmental and sustainability requirements set for organic farms and food processors.
