Ah Gee Owners of Kuranda Urban Farm
Annie and Jamie Ah Gee had many businesses together before they found the one they’re most passionate about Kuranda Urban Farm
You need to be great friends, be able to have fun together and both bring skills and personality traits that complement the other.
We always talk about work, we love what we do, and we love spending time in our business. Do you make all business decisions together? Although we try to make all major decisions together, both of us trust each other to make decisions in the best interest of the business and the family. Has your business achieved any awards or achievements that you’re particularly proud of? Yes, we have gained nationwide and international recognition for our success in growing and propagating wasabi in the rainforests of FNQ. As far as we know, we are the only people in the world growing wasabi on a commercial scale in the tropics. What advice would you give a couple starting out together in the food industry? Be prepared for hard work. Rely on each other and support each other. Understand that not everything goes to plan, and that not everything goes right.You only fail when you stop trying!
