Sam Pike

Sam Pike is a fourth-generation pineapple farmer at Glass House Mountains. After being back on the farm for ten years, Sam has now taken over the farm operation from his dad Murray who was a pioneer in fresh fruit. Sam has been on the board of Australian Pineapples as a representative for South East Queensland for four years and has become known for his innovative approach to machinery modification for efficiency, organic management and erosion control for environmental and economic dividends. Sam has just welcomed the fifth generation on to the family farm with the birth of son Ryan last year.
