Carolyn and Andrew Nichols emigrated from England to Tasmania in 1982 and moved to their scenic property 'Redbanks Farm' at Sisters Creek in 1986. The family (including 4 children) are keen wildlife conservationists and areas of the farm are set aside for wildlife habitat. When you purchase a Naturally Nichols product, part of the proceeds go towards the conservation of native forest, providing sanctuary for our wildlife.

Naturally Nichols became registered in 1993 and originally began producing Chicken Pies. However, a change in the business structure saw us concentrating more on producing Brandy-rich Christmas Puddings. These were followed by Gourmet Butters to complement the puddings and then Rich Fruit Cakes.

In 1995, the opportunity arose to purchase Forth Valley Pork Pies, this ideally fitted in with our traditional English Fare.

In 2000 we produced a uniquely Tasmanian Product Line that we now refer to as our Heritage Range. This includes a Heritage Puddings (500g and 100g) and Heritage Cakes (500g). These products incorporate the tastes of Tasmania, with ingredients such as Leatherwood Honey, Walnuts, apple and Lemon Myrtle.

Redbanks Farm is also the Hatchery for Nichols Chickens and the three Stuffing Mixes compliment our poultry lines.

Originally our sales were within Tasmania only, but by word of mouth and promoting our products on the mainland, we are now able to supply all Australian states.
