Erbacher’s Fruit & Vegetables is a family-owned business that began in 1945 when Eric and Thelma Erbacher purchased a farm at Diddillibah. The business has been trading on the Sunshine Coast since 1965 and is currently operated by second, third and fourth-generation family members. They employ extended family and local staff, many with nearly 20 years of service.

The business uses environmentally sensitive production processes on its local farm to maintain a healthy ecosystem, employing various organic-based nourishments and soil conditioners. The farm gate shop offers a range of fresh fruit and vegetables, including home-grown silverbeet. Matthew Ryan, a chef for 25 years, operates the on-site seafood shop and can provide tips on cooking fresh local seafood.
