SLOW FOOD NOOSA AUGUST BREAKFAST

Combine a highly qualified ‘animal nutritionist’ with a breed of Jersey and Holstein dairy cows on an organic, irrigated property and what do you have? Barambah Organics, a company which produces and markets organic milk, cream, a range of flavoured yoghurts, quark, sour cream and a selection of delicious cheeses, all organic.

Barambah Organics was founded by Ian Campbell and his wife Jane to confront the problems of a deregulated dairy industry by creating a company to produce and market their added-value dairy products.

Ian will be the guest speaker at the next Slow Food Breakfast , on Thursday 28 August, at the Blue Angel restaurant.

Ian and Jane took over the family dairy farm in Murgon from Ian’s parent, Pat and Alistair Campbell, popular local figures, when they retired to Noosa in 1999.

Ian has a degree in Rural Science from the University of Armidale and brought fresh challenging ideas to the dairy farm, turning it into organic pasture within two years.

The processing plant in Brisbane, which produces their range of Barambah Organic dairy products, followed shortly after. But the drought also followed shortly after, so Ian and Jane had to relocate the dairy cattle to an irrigated property in Inglewood, south of Brisbane, leaving the younger cattle to mature in Murgon.

With Ian’s insight and experience into farming and producing and marketing added-value dairy products, we can ensure you an interesting start to your day as well as a delicious breakfast from Daniel, our Leader/President .
