The Zunic family, Begara Almonds, are the Almondco Quality Award recipients for season 2019.

This 3rd generation farming family purchased their first almond orchard in 1997. Their roots in Riverland horticulture however started much earlier with Mick's mother and father settling on a property in the Renmark North area after migrating to Australia from Croatia in 1956. Mick's brother Peter and family continue the tradition on the original Zunic property.

Fast forward almost 23 years and now Mick's children are involved in the family farming venture.

Mick, along with sons Mark and James, discuss their story and their hands on family approach to maintaining orchard cleanliness, to produce almonds of a high quality.
