Grown by Pepo Farms in Victoria's Ovens Valley, these raw pumpkin seeds come from a hull-less Styrian variety traditionally cultivated in Central Europe. Australia's only locally grown naked pumpkin seed, they are unroasted, untreated, and minimally processed, preserving their delicate nutty flavour and full nutritional profile.
About the Producer
Pepo Farms is a small grower and processor based in Victoria and the only farm in Australia cultivating the Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca variety, a special pumpkin that produces seeds without a hard outer shell. Every stage of production takes place on-site, from growing and harvesting through to processing, small-batch cold-pressing, roasting, and milling, giving the farm complete control over quality at each step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these different from regular pepitas?
These come from a pumpkin variety that produces naturally hull-less seeds with a high oil content, so no mechanical shelling is required. Most commercial pepitas are hulled from standard pumpkins, which can affect texture and flavour. These have a softer texture and a more pronounced, creamy flavour as a result.
Are they certified organic?
Not certified organic, but Pepo Farms follows low-input, chemical-free, biodynamic practices throughout their growing and processing operations.
Are these seeds raw?
Yes. These seeds have not been roasted or heat-treated. They can be eaten raw or lightly toasted depending on your preference.
Where are they grown?
In the Ovens Valley of northeast Victoria, at Australia's only commercial pumpkin seed farm.
