The Basilea Story

Now a second generation family farm, Basilea Living Herbs has passionately grown, packaged and delivered the very best selection of full-flavoured spray free living herbs, edible flowers, salads, spinach and mustard green seedlings to Cafes & Restaurants throughout regions of Brisbane, Moreton Bay & Sunshine Coast.

​

Plants are grown north of Brisbane and tended to for the best quality and freshness possible for use by talented Chefs, a-topped exquisite culinary creations of which, you may very likely have experienced! 

​

Basilea Living Herbs are delivered direct from our farm and we ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

​

The selection of herbs delivered are seasonal and vary from week to week to ensure the best quality, taste and appearance. Basilea Farm is an open-air farm. All plants are sun-hardy and have an excellent survival rate for freshness.​​

​

In June of 2013, Sarah Heath took over the family business from her mother, becoming the Owner and Grower, and relocated the farm to Burpengary, north of Brisbane.

​

With clear and careful planning, the new farm is sustainable and environmentally ethical. Basilea Farm reuses and recycles 80% more (on-farm) in comparison to the previous farm, and in the first 12 months halved water usage by utilising the newly designed reticulated water cycle and rainwater harvest system.

​

Sarah is dedicated to growing a local and sustainable business.

 

To support this mission, Sarah has become a passionate culinary herb educator, running beginner and advanced grower workshops and talks to share her extensive knowledge of herbs and edible flowers suitable for growing in South East Queensland. She is also an active member of the Queensland Herb Society, Brisbane Organic Growers Inc and Young Farmers Connect.
