About Us

Kangaroo Island Marron is a family owned and run business that is dedicated to bringing you ethically farm grown Marron.

Family member Justin Le Cornu is a qualified chef. After many years in the industry working as a commercial chef, one day he saw on television a program on Kangaroo Island Marron. Impressed with the Marron and their suitability to commercial restaurants (as they were able to be kept alive in a dormant state in the fridge for a number of days) made them a very attractive addition to any menu.

This interest in the species led him to commence an investigation as to how to regularly source them. At the time there was no constant supply of them, so he decided he would investigate the growing of them. During this process he found that he liked the lifestyle and decided that he would move to Kangaroo Island with his wife and became dedicated to growing Marron.

We are situated centrally in the Island, just West outside of Parndana along the Playford Highway (4327 Playford Highway), approximately a half an hour drive from Kingscote.
