Meet the Anderson family: On the red earth of South Isis near Childers in Queensland, the Anderson family story is deeply entwined with the land. What began in the early 1900s with John William Anderson – Norm Anderson’s great-grandfather – has grown into a multigenerational enterprise, where macadamias now take centre stage.
“Marrying a farmer and having my sons and grandson working the land was never part of my plan,” says Donna Anderson, laughing warmly. “But it’s become a life I treasure.”
For Donna, freshly cracked macadamias are the gold standard. “I love them raw,” she says. “But macadamia chips are my kitchen staple – great in sweets, added to cereal, and they freeze really well.”
Her signature treat? A Kentish Cake adapted from the CWA Cookery Book, topped with whole macadamias. She’s also partial to macadamias in savoury dishes, especially with goat cheese, avocado, and citrus in salads, or crusted over salmon.

Macadamia trees are long-lived and help combat climate change by naturally sequestering carbon—17.6 tonnes per hectare, every year!
With over 14 million macadamia trees across 44,000 hectares in Australia, macadamia orchards are not just farms—they’re thriving forests that benefit the planet while producing one of the world’s most delicious nuts. #NationalTreeDay #AusMacadamas #Macadamias

Six generations of farming, one bright future in macadamias
For Carl, macadamias are more than a business – they’re part of family life. “The kids love picking them up off the ground and helping to crack them,” he says. “It brings us all together.”
At home, roasted and salted macadamias are a staple. “But we’re big fans of honey-roasted or sweet chilli flavours, and of course, chocolate-coated macadamias,” Carl admits. In the kitchen, he enjoys tossing chopped macadamias into brownies, or using them as a crunchy topping on Greek yoghurt with honey and raspberries. #FromTheFarm #FarmLife #GrowerProfile #AustralianFarmer #AustralianMacadamias
