The Desert Fruit Company (DFC) is a cooperatively owned and managed, worker run, Australian date farm, located southeast of Alice Springs. Its goal is to make the farm an exemplar of sustainable and regenerative agriculture, an egalitarian and stimulating work environment and a profitable, remote business.

DFC utilises organic, regenerative farming techniques such as nitrogen fixing cover crops, organic fertilisers and sprays, conversion of horticultural waste to charcoal and then biochar for soil conditioning, microbial production for soil creation, and conducting irrigation trials to optimise water allocation to the orchard.

DFC are committed to being an ongoing educational institution aimed at better understanding of living and growing food in our Arid Zone.
