Would you go into business with a sibling? From a winery to cheesemakers, these Tasmanian entrepreneurs have had a crack, and it's paying off.
Siblings work together at several successful agribusiness ventures in Tasmania , including farms, wineries, and cheesemakers.
The siblings live together on the farm too, along with Dana's partner and agribusiness adviser Charlie Fry."Charlie and I are getting married in January and when we bought the farm, that wasn't on the radar. Founded by Diane Rae, the business has since expanded to include two new offshoots — a distillery and skin care range — with siblings Nicole Gilliver and Ryan Hartshorn joining the fold in 2005 and 2003 respectively.They say that after so many years working together their trio has found its groove, but Nicole is quick to acknowledge it hasn't always been smooth sailing.
Having a clear idea of responsibilities and an appreciation for different skill sets has also been invaluable for the pair."The whole way through with us that the winemaking side … that was my specialty. "Because I think at the end of the day, we absolutely know that if there is any conflict, we're still going to have to sit down at Christmas."'It’s opened Dad’s eyes': Grace grew up thinking her brother would get the farm. Things have changed in her life time
