Episode Details

Australias first commercial agave farm, known as the prickle farm, is under new ownership, Blue Sky Drinks, aiming to capitalize on the growing agave spirit market. The farm, home to half a million agave plants, is set to harvest its first crop, but faces challenges due to the plants spiky nature. The agave industry in Australia is still emerging, with potential for growth in spirits and as an alternative crop for wine growers. Engineering firms are developing automated harvesters, and scientists are exploring agaves use in biofuels. The demand for agave plants is high, reflecting a shift towards sustainable farming practices, and the industry is poised for significant growth.
