Stonebarn Truffles Manjimup is a leading grower and exporter of black winter truffle (tuber melanosporum) in Australia.
Stonebarn has over 2,000 trees planted and yields over 1,000kgs of fresh truffle each year. Furthermore we have planted an additional 1,000 experimental trees in the past 18 months.
Join our one-day workshop run by Damon Boorman and Dion Range of Stonebarn to learn our methods firsthand. With over 20 years of truffle-growing experience, we can show you how we maximised our winter truffle yields from our truffle plantation.
In particular we will cover several important topics, such as:
- Farm management
- Climatic influences
- Importance of soil health and compaction
- Irrigation regimes
- Fertiliser/compost
- Pest management
- Leaf litter & waste control
- Working with dogs
- Training your own of hiring from contractor
- International sales overview
In addition to the discussion topics outlined above, we are thrilled to announce a collaboration with Ilsar Truffles, the largest truffle company in Israel, which has over 110,000 trees planted with many more to come. This partnership is an exciting development for us, offering the benefit of access to their state-of-the-art mapping technology. This technology enables us to trace each truffle back to its specific tree, enhancing our understanding of our truffle plantations. We are therefore optimistic about providing this advanced service to growers in Australia. At our workshops we will explain the benefits of this system.
