In this episode of Farm Machines & In-Betweens, John Francic meets up with third-generation gherkin grower Ben Parle to talk about the realities of daily farm operations and the production process behind producing the best pickles.
Ben shares the story of his family business, its evolution since the 1980s, and his arrangement as the sole grower supplying gherkins to McDonald’s Australia. From paddock to plate, it’s a conversation about scale, consistency and record-breaking results in 2025.
