he original farm was founded in 1839 by German migrant Johann Paech, as a dairy farm. When the farm was inherited by descendent Grant Paech and his wife Carol in 1969, they sold the dairy cows and renamed the farm "Beerenberg".
Originally selling home-made jams from a roadside stall, the company introduced a single portion jar that which resulted in them being awarded several major airline contracts.
Anthony Paech, the current managing director, represents the sixth generation of the family still on the same farm while brother Robert Paech is Farm Manager and sister Sally Paech is Marketing Manager. The company operates in a deliberate way as a multi-generational family business, with a formal constitution and a family council to help run the business.[3]
Beerenberg's has received a South Australian Premier's Food Award for its contribution to horticulture and the food industry.[4]
