Foodbank's critical role linking surplus produce f

Foodbank's critical role linking surplus produce from growers to people in need has been highlighted in the newly released 2023 Hunger Report.

Foodbank reports the sobering fact that 3.7 million Australian households have experienced food insecurity in the last 12 months.

Rising interest rates, combined with inflation, has forced many Australians to reduce the fresh produce and protein they buy.

94% of food insecure households reported changing their shopping and eating out habits in the last 12 months, including looking for sales and discounts and food and grocery items, cutting back on meals out, swapping foods for cheaper alternatives and nearly half reporting they have reduced their purchase of fresh produce and protein.

Many are reluctant to ask for help and rely on the kindness of family and friends, or they go without.

Each year Foodbank, in partnership with businesses like ours, source enough food for over 82 million meals.

That’s why we’re proud to be a National Supply Partner to Foodbank, because we know how much impact they have on people facing tough times.

Through our 10-year partnership, we have diverted excess vegetables, as well as those vegetables that do not meet retail specifications, to Foodbank who ensure they reach charities and community organisations, and ultimately vulnerable Australians.

As the cost of living continues to rise, Foodbank’s work has never been more important.

Meet our mighty sales team who ensure the 48,000-t

Meet our mighty sales team who ensure the 48,000-tonnes of fresh veggies we grow and pack on Queensland farms find a home.

It’s a busy job which means they must be across all aspects of the supply chain, from seed to shelf, talking daily with our farm teams about the quality, quantity and timing of harvests across all four of our growing regions.

Our sales team of Chris Cooper, Tracey Campbell, Thomas Stephens and Emily Green, live and breathe fresh produce and are focused on ensuring our customers receive the produce they need when they need it, and achieving the best results for growers.

No day is the same, the pace is fast, and the product range features carrots, green beans, sweet corn, baby capsicums, pumpkin, onions and an expanding organics offer.

Does this sound appealing to you?
Get in touch.
We’re seeking a new team member to work as an assistant to our Organics Category Manager Tracey Campbell. We’re looking for a skilled offsider who has a winning sales spirit, is highly organised and has excellent attention to detail.

Communication is essential – the organics assistant is responsible for managing the information flow from farm to distribution centres for customers in a timely manner, help drives sales and foster customer relationships.

If you’re working in a similar role, or you are a recent university graduate in business/agribusiness, keen to work in horticulture, we’d love to hear from you.

Peaches and Cream, Milk and Coffee, Scones and Jam

Peaches and Cream, Milk and Coffee, Scones and Jam, Carrots and Beans - some things are a perfect match!

For us carrots and beans not only partner perfectly on a plate, adding colour and crunch, they are also well matched in the paddock.

Carrots and Beans grow best as rotational crops (that's farmer’s speak for taking turns in the paddock). Beans | Carrots | Beans | Carrots 🥕

That’s how we grow such nutrient-rich veggies, packed with flavour, while keeping the soil healthy. Crop rotations like this allow one crop to replace what another crop might remove from the soil, achieving harmony and balance in the soil.

Right now we’re harvesting carrots in the Scenic Rim, the Lockyer Valley and the Southern Downs. Our green beans are growing well in the warm winter conditions of Bowen and we've just started planting beans in southern Qld.

You’ll find our beans and carrots in most major supermarkets and independent grocers. More info about our sustainable farming practices is available on our website www.kalfresh.com.au/sustainability/
