For five generations, the Maitland family has grown quality cereals and legumes on their farm in Clare Valley, South Australia, producing fine food products including premium wholegrain dry pasta, wholegrain flour and wholegrain chickpeas and beans.
“Pangkarra products are grown using sustainable farming methods incorporating organic fertilisers,” said Katherine Maitland, who alongside her husband Jim, runs the business.
“Our intention is to go back to basics, the traditional way, and give consumers a premium, healthy Australian offering.” As the only producers of 100% wholegrain pasta, flour and lavosh in the country, Pangkarra products are both premium and healthy.
“Wholegrain foods are the way of the future, they help with weight control, can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer and are a natural source of vitamins.”
For Katherine and Jim, a medal win at the Australian Food Awards gives their products and the efforts and dedication that go into producing them recognition on a larger scale.
“Winning this award has given us great encouragement and reinforcement to continue producing a premium paddock to plate product which is healthy, delicious and sustainable.”
Pangkarra products are available nationally in leading supermarkets, IGAs, gourmet shops and more. The products are also available for purchase at the Pangkarra Foods website.
