Despite being a third-generation pineapple farmer, Jake Brooks had never seen a pineapple burn – that was until the November 2019 bushfires. Within 24 hours of receiving the call, the family business lost more than 1200 hectares as well as tractors, forklifts and about 200,000 pineapple plants. In this episode, Jake talks about how they’re bouncing back, sharing the workload with his twin brother, and whether or not pineapple does in fact belong on a pizza.
