Details
DescriptionView taken from Col Higgins property at 56 Burnett Street showing strawberries growing as s small crop. The one and a half acre factory site was purchased from H.M Witham in 1941 and the factory building was completed in time to receive the 1943 harvest. The Buderim factory produced and marketed a range of ginger and strawberry products under the name "Merrybud" including crystallised ginger, ginger in syrup, ginger sandwich spread and strawberry conserve. In 1981 the decision was made to sell the Buderim factory and transfer all the plant to the ginger factory at Yandina (opened in 1979). The final move from Buderim was made in 1989. The site was subsequently occupied by the Festival Markets and then redeveloped as a major shopping complex.
