15.01.2022 Managing director Gavin Scurr was still a teenager when he started growing pineapples on the family farm at Wamuran in the 1980s. As Gavin remembers growing up, most kids at the local schools were country kids off farms and Caboolture was a quiet little town. What are your memories of our first growing region back then? #pineapplefarming #thenandnow Read more about our history> https://www.pinata.com.au/about-us
