About Us
Piñata Farms is a proudly family-owned and operated Australian farming business with a long and respected history in horticulture.

Our operations span from remote locations in the Northern Territory to the Sunshine Coast, the high country of southern Queensland, and southern Tasmania, with each region offering unique climatic conditions that contribute to the quality of our produce.
