Banana farming has been a long standing tradition in the Moorhead family.

In 1925 the family's first banana farm was established by Charlie Moorhead and his stepfather, Frederic Whitaker, at Mt Mee, Queensland.

The farm is now proudly owned by Charlie's Son Merv and his wife Naomi. Learning from his father, Merv has taken banana farming back to its original basis of growing bananas without the use of chemicals and fertilizers through bio-dynamic farming principles.

The Moorhead & Rutter farm is now located in the beautiful and banana friendly environment of Wamuran, Queensland - just west of Caboolture on the Kilcoy road.

Today, more than 80 years since inception, Moorhead & Rutter have become one of the country's main leaders in banana farming and distribute their produce through organic 'Farmers' Markets, direct to consumers and through normal wholesale channels to retailers of organically produced fruit & veg.
