In 2001, the Thompsons were forced to sell their farm but remained resolute, driven to define success on their own terms.
Amy Thompson and her family are no strangers to adversity. For almost a century, the Thompson family life revolved around the dairy farm. Like many small businesses in the agrarian sector, however, there was only so much the family could do in the face of amalgamation, deregulation and international competition.
Over the next decade, they pursued various business opportunities, including an irrigation company and a culinary franchise. During that time, Amy Thompson completed an education in business management and developed her considerable skill set working outside the family businesses.
In 2014, she returned to co-found the latest Thompson family venture: Monkey Business Catering, now thriving in Toowoomba, Australia.
