History
George and Anna Paech arrived in South Australia from German-speaking Prussia with their young family. The first strawberries grew around Grant’s house, and the first commercial crop followed two years later. Early jam was packed in cream cartons. Six generations later, the Paech family still owns, farms and lives on the property. After Hermann Paech died, Grant and Carol took over the farm and renamed it Beerenberg, meaning “Berry Hill” in German.
