PROVENANCE REGISTRY

THE STORY.

"It started at a kitchen table in Gunnedah in 1978."

Wendy and Harry Neale had a simple vision: create flour the way it was meant to be made. With a small bench-mounted stone mill, they began grinding organic grains by hand, one bag at a time.

Forty-six years later, that kitchen-table operation has grown into Australia's largest supplier of chemical-free, organic, and ancient grain flours.
