ABOUT US

SINCE 1980

The Piliouras family have seen 3 generations work the fertile soil at their picturesque Mount Barker property.

It all started with Con who was raised on an olive farm in Greece where copious amounts of high-quality olives were grown and delicious olive oil was produced using traditional methods passed on from generation to generation. He emigrated to Australia in 1963 and soon after met his wife Olga. In 1980 they both started Mt Barker Strawberries after purchasing a small plot of land at the southern end of the Adelaide Hills. This is where the first batch of strawberries were grown.

Over time different varieties were trialled and tested, more land was utilised and a reputation for high-quality produce emerged.

George entered the business in 1992 and has kept up the practices of the generations before him and combined this with his passion to supply premium products, to ensure that quality strawberries continue to be harvested and supplied to all Mt Barker Strawberries’ customers.

Third generation strawberry farmer Kon, recently entered the business having grown up in and around the farm, learning the ways of the generations before him. Since leaving school in 2018, Kon has been working in the business with his father and grandparents. The best thing about farming for Kon is being able to work in the picturesque outdoors of the Adelaide Hills.
