Our Story
I came to Australia from Thailand to be with my Mum when I was just 16 years old and have always been in Glass House Mountains - you won't believe it but I was just about to join the army in Australia, aged 17, when I met Edwin whose family were organic farmers and the rest is history!
I have had my farm at Glass House Mountains for 23 years and it has been fully certified as organic for 18 years - we chose to grow organically following the methods used by Edwin's parents and it really works for us
My total focus is on quality and not quantity - I love the hard work and enormous satisfaction of growing organic fruits & vegetables on our farm with stunning views of Mount Beerwah

Why Pick & Pack With Us?
We only offer hourly pay rates – it is important to us that our berries are treated gently
We offer really flexible working hours so we think we’re a great option for locals looking for part-time work
We grow other crops too which means we can offer more hours for those that want to work a very full week – but no Sundays
We like to start early & finish early on our farm – normal hours are 6am – 2pm
We have a house on-site for up to 5 workers
You will need your own transport as there is no public transport
As a small multi-crop farm, we can offer you variety in the work you do – not just picking and packing strawberries.
Our harvesting season starts from June and runs until mid-November with the busiest period for strawberries in August and September
