Ian and Jane Campbell’s Barambah Organics began in 2002. From it’s origins in the Murgon area (where Ian’s 4th generation family farm is situated), the dairy herds relocated near Goondiwindi and Inglewood, 350kms South West of Brisbane in order to secure access to reliable water. The farms are well located on the Dumaresq River System and on the McIntyre Brook. This has been an excellent move and the cows are thriving in this location. Barambah Organics cows graze on mixed pastures – are 80% grass fed – their diet is supplemented with grains and minerals during milking times.
Ian is a highly qualified Rural Scientist who specialised in animal nutrition at University. He has been in the dairy industry for many years and has seen the true respect and regard that so many dairy farmers give to their animals. The average dairy farmer works a 14-hour day and strangely they choose this path for the lifestyle, as dairy farmers truly love their animals and all family members can work together.
Barambah Organics has won numerous awards for their milks, yoghurts and cheeses in Australia and internationally, and are recognised as one of the best dairies in the world. And they’re right in our backyard!
