Goolwa PipiCo harvest wild Pipis from the oceanic waters of the Coorong National Park in South Australia. Their harvest methods and annual allowable catch have minimum ecological impact and Goolwa PipiCo are considered by the Marine Stewardship Council to run a fully sustainable fishery. The company is the largest producer of Pipis in Australia.
Goolwa Pipi Co. was formed in 2014 by a small, dedicated group of multi generational fishing families who recognise the benefits of working together in a collaborative way. Co-founder Tom Robinson states, “It is quite unique in the fishing industry for fishermen to work together but by doing so we have been able to afford improvements in our processes and product quality and thereby increase our competitive advantage in the market.” Goolwa Pipi Co brings together more than 100 years of combined experience and the collection of fishermen and women working together at Goolwa Pipi Co. are proud of their unique story and their especially delicious product.
