Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries. Everybody loves them. We all have our berry best friend.

Whether you add them to your morning cereal, blend them into smoothies, or savour them on their own, the taste of berries is unmatched.

People want to enjoy delicious berries no matter the season. But what is the secret to achieving this? The answer lies in growing across multiple locations around Australia. At Perfection Fresh, we've perfected this approach to ensure you have access to fresh, high-quality berries year-round.

Since 1978, we’ve focused on horticultural innovation and progress to produce the most exceptional products. We’re at the forefront of using data and cutting-edge farming technologies. We can share advanced farming technologies from around the world, data-driven insights, and a commitment to sustainable practices.

Plus, with our commitment to maintaining stable prices, you can indulge in these delightful fruits without worrying about fluctuating costs.

Seasonal Growing Locations

To deliver the best berries, we strategically grow them in different locations based on the season.

During the Australian summer, we grow our berries in Tasmania, where the cool, temperate climate provides ideal conditions for raspberries and other berries to thrive.

In the Australian winter, our operations move to the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, taking advantage of the favourable climate to continue producing fresh berries.

Why Tasmania?

Tasmania's unique climate, with its cool winters and mild summers, provides the perfect conditions for growing berries.

The island's rich, fertile soil and clean air contribute to the exceptional flavour and quality of Tasmanian berries.

This purity is due to the fact that the air in this region comes directly from Antarctica without passing over any land masses, making it some of the cleanest air on Earth.

Our farms are strategically located in this pristine environment to take full advantage of these natural benefits, ensuring that every berry you enjoy from Perfection Fresh is a taste of Tasmanian perfection.

Our Tasmanian Farms

One of our farms is located in North-West Tasmania, just under two hours from Launceston. Here, in Riana, we grow Perfection blueberries and raspberries when the summer temperatures are too hot on the mainland.

Innovative Farming Techniques

All our berries are hydroponically grown in tunnels, protected from the elements, ensuring we can deliver berries at their very best. This farm is a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability, allowing us to provide high-quality produce no matter the weather conditions.

Tunnels are designed to protect the crop from weather elements while allowing air to circulate freely and keeping the environment warmer in the cooler months. This ensures that our berries are always at their peak, regardless of the season.

As a bonus, we use bees to naturally pollinate the plants, we also have bee hives on site to help mother nature do her work.

Stable Supply and Stable Pricing

At each of our farms across the country, we've established our own growing facilities and partnered with Australia’s finest growers. This ensures a consistent supply of farm-fresh produce all year round.

By maintaining a steady availability of our products, we help stabilise prices, preventing significant fluctuations.

Perfection Fresh ensures you can enjoy your favourite berries all year by growing in Tasmania during summer and Queensland in winter, providing consistent quality and availability regardless of the season.
