News from the farm

50 years ago on September 6, 1969, Grant Paech picked the very first strawberry on the Beerenberg Family Farm in Hahndorf, South Australia. A half-century later, the family-owned and operated business is a household name, known for over 100 different jams, condiments, meal bases, and slow cooker sauces, as well as their famous strawberry farm where visitors from around the world visit to pick their own strawberries.
