The Bathurst area is well-known for its pineapple farms. A drive through the district reveals fields of spiky fruit in shades of green and gold sweetening in the warmth of the sun. The Big Pineapple – a giant structure at Summerhill Farm – is a local landmark.

While we continue to farm this famous fruit at Limestone Hill, including a limited organic crop, our focus has shifted to the production of dried pineapple. Approximately 100 tons of raw, unpeeled fruit are processed every month to create six tons of perfectly cut pineapple rings. These rings are sold at a variety of retail outlets, including Woolworths stores under their house brand.
