Nina and partner Andrew grow 15,000 certified organic strawberry plants on raised beds beside Lake Nillahcootie, at Barjarg.
But production is enormous and each plant produces 180 to 200 strawberries, with the harvest season starting early last month.
However Nina told us, with only three full time pickers, she and Alan could only actually market about 20 per cent of the fruit they produce.
But she could not speak highly enough, of their three Pacific Islander employees, who are paid $39 an hour for their work.
Nina said if they could attract enough pickers, each acre of strawberry production would enable them to gross about $200,000.
Thanks to samples provided by Nina, S&L attendees were able to vouch for the superior quality of what are branded Bimbimbi strawberries.
