Harvesting Premium Citrus
Welcome to Timmel Ridge Estate, where passion meets the earth. Nestled in the heart of Sunraysia, our proudly family-owned farm is dedicated to cultivating premium Australian citrus with care and commitment.
Our farming philosophy
At Timmel Ridge Estate, our philosophy is simple: "If the investment goes into the tree, the tree will give you a return." This guides our commitment to orchard health, soil vitality, innovative and sustainable practices for exceptional premium Australian citrus.
Our commitment to quality
From the rich soils of Sunraysia to the warmth of the Australian sun, our commitment to quality shines through every piece of citrus. At Timmel Ridge Estate, quality isn’t just a goal it’s a promise embedded in every decision we make.
We leverage our unique location, with reliable access to the Murray River, rich fertile soils, and a climate perfectly suited to citrus cultivation. But it’s our hands on approach, thoughtful investment in orchard health, and dedication to sustainable and innovative farming that truly sets us apart.
Every tree is nurtured with care. This means we prioritise long term soil vitality, water efficiency, and innovative techniques that support both yield and fruit integrity.
From planting to harvest, our team led by Tim and Mel Vandenberg ensures that every piece of fruit reflects the pride and passion of a family deeply connected to the land. Whether destined for domestic tables or commercial markets, our citrus is grown to meet the highest standards of freshness, flavor, and consistency.

How the story began...
Just over a decade ago, the seeds of Timmel Ridge Estate were planted, not just in the soil of Gol Gol, NSW, but in the vision of Tim and Mel Vandenberg. What started as a single farm purchase in 2014 quickly grew into a thriving citrus operation, built on precision, passion, and smart decision-making.
Tim, raised in the horticultural industry, brought both hands on experience and academic insight to the venture. With a Bachelor of Agricultural Science and a Masters of Business Administration, he saw the potential in citrus farming and made the leap from corporate life to cultivating the land. Mel is equally committed, supports the day to day operations and business administration, bringing her own expertise and dedication to the business. Together, they raise three boys and a growing legacy.
From early to late-season navels and valencias to mandarins, lemons, and limes, the Vandenberg's grow with purpose. Their approach is embedded in quality because in a market that’s always evolving, they believe that delivering exceptional fruit is the key to meeting demand and building trust.
Timmel Ridge Estate isn’t just a citrus farm. It’s a story of growth, resilience, and growing high quality Australian premium fruit for all markets.
