"The snacking section of the market is huge, the amount of varieties, different shapes and sizes and colours and things like that," said Grant Nichol, who oversees the company's produce at the Melbourne Fresh Market.From four hectares of experimental plastic greenhouses in 2003, the business now has a massive area under glass at Warragul and at three other sites in north-eastern Victoria.
Sadly, neither founder lived to see the business achieve its most recent spectacular success. Warren Nichol died in 2008, and Mark Millis in 2019.Both families are proud of their fathers' legacy and stick to the values and principles that helped build the company's success.
