Our Story
We’re more than a berry farm
LuvaBerry has been operating for nearly two decades. What once began as strawberries has now evolved into a multi-crop farm, growing everything from strawberries to herbs and native finger limes.
Our Community
Community is at the heart of LuvaBerry
Community is at the heart of LuvaBerry; whether it’s opening our gates to the public, collaborating with local artisans, or donating five acres of land to the Mini Farm Project that grows food for charity, we strive to create a positive farming culture that gives back.
LuvaBerry aims to respect the land and its people. That’s why we support farming practices that encourage low waste habits, like our freeze-dry initiative and our exploration of biodegradable punnets.
We believe we’ve cultivated something special, and we’re inviting you to experience it for yourself.
Mandy Schultz
Owner & Naturopath
Mandy is a naturopath who holds 25 years of clinical experience. Mandy has worked with several leading brands, which include a position as clinician and pharmacy trainer for Bullivants Natural Health Products, as well as the Naturopathic Services Manager for Greenridge Botanicals. Well versed in both seminar presentations and training, Mandy has been able to extend her knowledge internationally, working six months in Hong Kong training staff and clinic.
It was this passion about health that inspired Mandy to search for an innovative solution regarding fresh fruit wastage, leading her to create healthy fruit snack products free from sugar and preservatives.
Thus, LuvaBerry’s freeze dried range was born and the War on Waste Movement began.
In the last 12 months, Mandy has been a part of the “Best of Brisbane Experience” mentor program, and is now working with the support of TEQ (Tourism Events Qld) to expand LuvaBerry’s authentic farm offering with the introduction of “Farmer for the Day” and the new Summer & Autumn Native experiences.
