Local Products we Love - Our Local Hero Product this week is Kialla Pure Organics

Deep in the heart of Queensland’s Darling Downs, the organic farming revolution sprang from an earnest desire to grow chemical free, nutrient rich food in a sustainable way. This passionate group of farmers recognised soil vitality was the key to farming that provides for future generations. The organic farm “Kialla”, on the outskirts of Toowoomba, was the inspiration for Kialla Pure Foods’ name.

From its inception in 1988, Kialla Pure Foods was one of the founding members of today’s organic movement. In our first year of operation, these organic pioneers held an inaugural ‘open day’ at Kialla to share their philosophy with fellow farmers looking for a healthier more sustainable way to farm. A modest crowd of perhaps 200 was expected on the day. However, by lunch time thousands had descended upon Kialla via the small country roads around the little town of Greenmount, 20kms from Toowoomba – resulting in the area’s first traffic jam. Those that eventually made it to site were greeted from an impromptu stage: the humble roof of a station wagon from which organisers addressed the crowd. The industry traces its roots from the outpouring of interest on that day, in the midst of the lush wheat fields of Kialla. It’s immortalised forever as the day the organic movement found its voice, its people and its impetus to become what it is today.

Since that time the Kialla business has grown both in scale and capability, and our brand has become an organic icon to informed cooks and artisan bakers alike, not only in Australia but also in many overseas markets. In 2006 Kialla Pure Foods was purchased by Quentin and Michelle Kennedy, themselves farmers and committed organic supporters. The Kennedys, with the dedicated support of the entire Kialla team, continue to steward the business in to the future.

Today, Kialla Pure Foods’ same commitment and passion remains: to produce a real difference in our communities by making delicious healthy food possible through a sustainable and transparent food chain.

So here at Sunshine Organics we know that every time you buy certified Organic you are helping both your healthy & the health of the Earth
