About us
Our Story
In 2001, we went 'beyond organics' into chem-free, GM-free, nutrient dense (soil and produce) farming when arriving in Australia from Southern Africa and following "Allan Savory' practices.
We started with olives and truffles (being of French heritage) but soon branched out into other, with free-range eggs being the main income earner. We got 25% better prices than other free range, simply because our eggs were twice the nutrient density, twice as nutritious and delicious. We had a great team (see below) but my job was focused on measuring soil and produce quality.
However, a Govt Law allowing up to 10 000 birds per hectare to be called "free range" and harassment by our Local Council to enforcing commercial kitchen standards (stainless steel) to pack eggs, stamp every one, date and weigh every box, was another clear indication of the fate of smaller farms, , focused on "regenerating soil, produce and human life".
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the systems and related low-cost, mobile tools for soil, produce and human health (RNI) improvement:
- Farmers, growers (even home), producers etc.
- Consumers looking for nutrient dense delicious, nutritious, chem-free, GM-free, etc.
- Those* wishing to build local communities around local produce, handy-man skills and health/nutrition education.
- Affiliates* passionate about healthy eating
* See Affiliates program here.
Our Team
My wife, Sue, a farmer's daughter, had educated our son, Justin, on how to grow things from the early age of 8, starting with bonzai trees.
Justin first qualified as a Horticulturist, then went onto Uni and knew about the soil - plant relationship more than most.
Being a IT supply chain specialist in natural resources, I know that one cannot manage, plan nor control anything effectively and/or efficiently without metrics.
So I focused on measuring, starting with BRIX meters in 2010, SCiO spectrometers in 2017, Agrocares spectrometer and others in 2019 for soil quality, carbon content measurement and soil / plant advice as a service.

We went "beyond organics" into chem-free, nutrient dense farming on 50 acres as above in 2001, starting with truffles and olives.
We started selling BRIX meters in our "Fresh Produce and Organics" store in Trentham in 2010.
Farmers had been using BRIX meters for past 80 years to improve produce, grain, etc., quality,
But consumers had no

But consumers had no clue what a BRIX meter was, but understood what a "NutriMeter" was, and did.

Our Mission
As we were able to get 25% better prices for delicious, nutritious produce (high nutrient density), why not others do the same?
As well as help anyone wanting to eat well, feel better and live longer?
So, along with NutriMeters, a 24x7 online 'Farmer's Market' system would complementary.
So, started developing the FindGoodFood system in 2013.
