Consumers eating higher than previously assumed rates of berries leads to an insecticide being de-approved because people are ingesting too much poison!

We eat what our food was fed.

We think the rampant use of bio-cides in 'conventional' food production is far more scary than the low risks that the new berry, leafy greens and melon regulations seek to manage. The regulations have nothing to say about use of off the shelf agri-poisons.

An interesting read on human health and how food is typically grown is David R Montgomery and Anne Bickle, What Your Food Ate (2022, Norton).

Australians' surging appetite for berries has prompted the national farm chemical watchdog to suspend a popular insecticide.

We're closing down our business. Plump Berries will no longer operate from February 2026.

UNTIL THEN
- You can order the last of our liqueurs and spirits online https://www.plumpberries.com.au/distilled-products
- You can book a private tasting experience https://www.plumpberries.com.au/privatetasting
- We'll organise a day later this year to open the cellar door for drop in sales of liqueur, spirits and bulk fruit wine.

PLEASE NOTE
- We will not open for public pick your own
- Our roadside fridge/freezer has shifted to barter preferred.

WHY ARE WE CLOSING PLUMP BERRIES?
The short answer is that neither of us want to continue the 'hustle' of small business. No 'heavy hearts' here - we're both really happy about our decision.

WHAT ARE WE DOING INSTEAD?
We are enjoying our home, nurturing the land, growing great food, experimenting and learning. Aaron is practising his creative spirits at another distillery that champions Tasmanian produce. Olivia is doing more paid work and plotting new ways to be an active part of her local food system.

THANK YOU
To everyone who has been interested in our Plump Berries adventures, for visiting the farm or cellar door, and for buying our wares. If you're a local you will see us around - just Olivia and Aaron, not the Plump People anymore!
