Brumbys
Brumbys is a well known Australian company that first began in 1975 from modest beginnings in Victoria and has now grown to over 300 stores nationwide. They offer a wide range of goods that are freshly baked daily from "scratch" at each store and including traditional loaves, rolls, cakes, slices, as well as meal solutions like their tear 'n' share range and seasonal treats.
One of the reasons that we choose to include Brumbys breads in our range apart from their yummy taste and large product range is that Brumby's believes that the use of artificial preservatives should be minimised, so unlike some other bread manufacturers, they don't use any preservatives in their bread dough. Essentially preservatives 282 and 223 (which have been linked to behaviourial problems in children and adverse reactions in asthmatics respectively) are not found in their breads.

Barambah Organics
Ian and Jane Campbell are the driving force behind Barambah Organics. They produce their organic award winning milk from their own farms in south east Queensland as well as several other A grade certified farms in Queensland and NSW.
Ian is a fourth generation dairy farmer who has undertaken studies in Rural Science in NSW and Nutritional Medicine in England. He knows just what it takes to produce good quality dairy products.
So what's different about organic milk? Remember how milk used to come with cream on top and actually had taste? Well, that's what you get with Barambah Milk - milk that actually tastes like milk is supposed to.
That superior taste comes from the way they look after their cows (did you know that stressed cows don't produce good quality milk?) and because the milk isn't homogenized which means that the milk is in as natural form as possible. Homogenisation is where the cream is blasted into fine particles to give the milk a more uniform texture. So you'll find with Barambah Milk cream collects at the top. If you prefer it mixed through just give the bottle a shake.
Barambah milk comes in three varieties – full cream, light, and skim.
Thankfully Barambah don't stop at milk. They also produce other organic dairy products including butter, cream, quark, sour cream, double cream brie cheese ("Fig Tree Paddock"), washed rind cheese ("Gold Hawk") and natural and flavoured yoghurt.

The Meat-ting Place
The Meat-ting Place is Queensland's largest retailer of certified organic meats.
The Meat-ting Place began 11 years ago when Steve and Jenelle Povey started offering organic meat for sale through their Paddington butchery. Their aim was to provide meat that was not only as nature intended and free from pesticides but that also was healthy and nutritious. They began by supporting small organic farms who were struggling to get into retail markets in Brisbane.
The Meat-ting place has since grown to become the largest retailer of Organic Meats in Queensland, and is a certified organic business with the Australian Certified Organic Retailers. Their meats are now sourced from various Certified Organic Farms, Australia wide.
Because The Meat-ting Place buys direct from farmers, they are able to offer a large range of Organic meats at prices that are affordable to everyone. All products from The Meat-Ting Place are top quality export grade. They provide beef, lamb, chicken, and pork.
Their poultry is supplied by Inglewood Organic poultry; their beef & lamb is supplied by Australian Organic Meats; the pork is supplied by Australian Organic Meats (currently chemical free and free-range); their bacon, silverside & hams are nitrate free and they have developed an extensive range of Organic sausages and Smallgoods which are all made without the use of preservatives.

Pureharvest was established in 1979 in Prahran, Victoria. Their first products were bulk whole beans and grains which were distributed to health food stores in Victoria. Within a few years, Pureharvest was one of the largest suppliers of seeds and grains to the bakery trade in Victoria.
In 1982, Pureharvest was one of the first companies to import and distribute soy milk and rice cakes in Australia, and was largely responsible for creating markets for these products.
Pureharvest was also the first company to distribute bio-dynamic rice, and was largely responsible for financing the first bio-dynamic rice crop grown in Australia.
In 1987, Pureharvest was the first Australian company to sell locally made whole bean soy milk, marketed under the 'Aussie Soy' brand. Today this is still one of the leading Australian whole bean soy milks.
In the early 1990s Pureharvest introduced rice milk to the Australian market and shortly after Oatmilk. Organic Almond Milk has recently been added to this list of alternative milk products.
Today Pureharvest is one of Australia's largest manufacturers and distributors of natural and organic food with a national distribution network. Pureharvest has also become a leading exporter of organic and natural products.

Four Leaf
Four Leaf Milling is a family business that was setup in 1968 to process grain from Four Leaf Farms, a 2,500 acre farm in the Tarlee district of South Australia. Herbicides, pesticides, fungicides or fumigants have never been used on the farm.
The farm has been certified bio dynamic since 1989 has been chemically 'clean' for the past 80 yeas, the only blemish being one application of super phosphate in the early 1940's. The farming practices used on the farm place great emphasis on continually improving the soil.
The main motivation for Four Leaf in setting up their own milling was to maintain control over the quality of the finished grain product. The business has expanded and although the majority of grains (rye, barley, wheat, oats) in Four Leaf products are grown on Four Leaf farms, they do sometimes source from other selected certified Australian Bio-dynamic and Organic farms.
Four Leaf use innovative stone milling methods coupled with stringent certification and inspection requirements which means that products of the highest quality are produced. The family designed and built the milling equipment used including Sienna granite stones required to meet the rigid specifications for high quality flours. These stone mills ensure the grain is milled at slow speed without excessive heat thus preserving the integrity of the quality and vitamin content of the flour. Flour Leaf's bio dynamic rolled oats, when independently tested, were found to have some of the highest levels of Vitamin E ever encountered.
No genetically modified grains are used in Four Leaf products.
