From its inception in 1988, Kialla Pure Foods was one of the founding members of today’s organic movement. Since then Kialla 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. Our mill,based in the heart of the Darling Downs, is one of the last remaining flour mills in Australia to still operate in the midst of the farmland where the grains are grown. We continue to invest in and grow our regional presence, actively developing opportunities for both local people and our organic farmers. At Kialla we’re committed to organic food because we recognise that our whole food system is connected: soil, plants, animals, food, people and the environment. We partner with dedicated certified organic farmers who produce food cleanly and sustainably without the use of chemicals and pesticides. They work with nature using traditional methods and modern research to maintain biodiversity and soil fertility. These farming methods are often labour intensive but reflect the true cost of natural food production. The use of ‘quick-fix’ chemical solutions like pesticides and herbicides may increase crop yields in the short term, but they introduce toxic chemicals into our bodies and have a dramatic impact on the quality of our soils. Ultimately, this results in higher costs to our health and threatens the future of our food systems. A growing body of scientific research shows that organic food has higher levels of nutrients and antioxidants because it is grown in healthy, nutrient balanced soils. Certified Organic is also guaranteed non-GMO and free from any synthetic chemicals, so you can be assured that you’re feeding your body with the best food possible. That is why we believe that the food we eat matters, and it’s why we choose organic… Organic food is good for you, good for farmers and good for our planet.
