”Strawberries are a business that we have to run efficiently, but many hands make light work and you get rewarded at the end of the day.
Ray Daniels
Our Story
We're second generation farmers, my family once owned the third largest strawberry farm in Queensland. I've been growing strawberries my whole life and I grow 45 times more than my parents did. We have 4 million plants across two farms with five varieties.
Taking a seven year break from strawberries, I studied to become a Fitter and Turner by trade so I can make anything on the farm. We're always innovating and I've even made robots to pick strawberries. We've learnt to be efficient and for example have developed a moving break station that follows the workers around the farm with their belongings.
Our favourite part of the season is taking the staff away for the weekend and exploring the local area, last year we went to Noosa on our 'party bus' and everyone got involved with the karaoke.
