Key Points
- Despite arriving in Australia as a visa dependent in 2010 with a nursing degree, Jerwell chose to follow his family’s roots in dairy farming, a passion tracing back to Talavera, Nueva Ecija, eventually incorporating aa family’s own business, Dela Cruz Dairies, in 2023.
- Jerwell’s success is set against the backdrop of a thriving national industry that produced 8.8 billion liters of milk in 2022-23, with Tasmania serving as a critical hub for high-value exports like cheese and milk powder.
- Despite the initial isolation of Smithton, Tasmania, Jerwell’s preference for a quiet, nature-focused lifestyle aligns with a growing 2026 trend of Gen Z and Millennial Australians moving away from metropolitan areas in search of better property value and tranquility.
