Founded in 2001 with an initial 10 hectare undeveloped cattle farm, the Sweet Sensations Group was born.

24 years later - we have grown to over 40 hectares across 5 farms - with over 15 million hand picked lychees every year, the Van Rooyen Family are now one of Australia’s biggest lychee growers. Read more about our story below.
