About Ironbark Citrus

An Australian Family Farm Dedicated to Premium Mandarins

Ironbark Citrus is a family-owned and operated citrus farm, established in 1990 by Susan and Allen Jenkin. Nestled in the heart of Mundubbera, Queensland, our orchard spans over three farms, with a proud collection of 88,000 trees producing premium mandarins year-round.

For over 30 years, we’ve been growing some of Australia’s finest mandarins, ensuring that every fruit meets the highest standards of taste, texture, and freshness. Our orchard produces more than 8,000 tonnes of mandarins each year, destined for both the Australian market and international export.

As passionate citrus growers, Susan and Allen Jenkin oversee every aspect of our farm’s operations—from orchard management to harvesting and packing. Their hands-on approach ensures that each batch of fruit reflects their dedication to quality and consistency.

For more than 20 years, we’ve been trusted by clients worldwide to supply top-tier mandarins. Our export destinations include Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Thailand, the Middle East, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and various Pacific nations. Our global reach is a testament to the exceptional quality and reliability of our mandarins.

Our Harvest & Packing Process

The harvesting season at Ironbark Citrus starts in week 4 of April and runs until week 1 of September. We carefully select mandarins at the peak of their ripeness to ensure maximum flavour and juiciness.

Once harvested, our mandarins are packed according to our customers’ unique specifications. Whether you require pattern packs or tumble-fill cartons, we offer flexible options with net weights of 9kg, 10kg, 16kg, or 18kg. Whatever your packing needs, we deliver fresh mandarins tailored just for you.
