Premium Fresh – Ertler Brothers

DSCN9684Founded almost 60 years ago by the Ertler family, Premium Fresh are one of the largest vegetable growers in Tasmania, employing 140-220 people plus contracting farmers and land to meet fluctuating demand, and are a major supplier of Coles and Woolworths. Their biggest crops are onions and carrots; their Forth facility, built on the site of the original family farm, has dedicated grading and packing facilities for both, and they send out truckloads of onions to local, national and international buyers every day.
