Fred, Greenmount, Qld

Fred farms about 200 hectares, very close to Kialla’s mill at Greenmount, near Toowoomba in Southern Queensland. Since he’s only about 30kms away he has actually been supplying the mill since it first started in 1987.

And Fred was around long before that, having been farming in the Darling Downs area some 50 years. The rich black alluvial soils of the area have excellent water holding capacity and high soil fertility making this one of the best farming areas in Australia.

Rye is a winter crop, planted sometime between April and June each year. It will be harvested about 5 months later. As a hardy grass similar to wheat, it is able to withstand the often frosty conditions of winter in southern Queensland.

    I never make a bad loaf of bread now, since changing over to Kialla flour… I can’t get over the superior quality of your product. I have bought some for everyone in my family.

    We’ve found that Kialla popcorn is the best – it pops so much better than other popcorns, and it tastes great. Our kids love it.

    I truly like the transparency and traceability that Kialla Pure Foods offers. I’m actually able to see which farm grew the wheat milled into my 10kg bag of flour. This really sealed the deal for me. And I feel that Kialla sets themselves apart in this sense.

    Of all the brands of flour I have used Kialla is by far the BEST!

  • Meredith J. Home Baker

    Kialla is the best flour I’ve ever used – and that includes some great US flours. Please keep milling forever!!

  • Jacqui Mead, Consumer

    We’ve been using Kialla’s products for approximately seven years now, making the change to Organic Spelt Flour following the discovery that my son had a wheat and dairy intolerance. I have found that our whole family’s health has improved.
