The family owned and operated farm produces certified organic oats, spelt and linseed, buckwheat, quinoa and beef.

Executive managing director of production Peter Damen said this was the first year they have started supplying quinoa for baby formula.

They are growing for Melbourne based Yarra Valley Foods company Yarraley. The company focuses on high quality organic baby foods, in the hope to providing safe, comfortable and healthy food for babies.

"The quinoa goes over a wet mill and it gets turned into a slurry. It then gets put over a steam roller to sterilize all the product and then it gets sifted and tested and examined and packaged into a dry cereal product, so you just have to add hot water and feed it to infants."F

Mr Damen said there is a good national market demand for baby formulas.

"That's why they have a maximum limit of two per customer on some off the formulas.

"Our sales haven't been that fast yet, but hopefully because we are priced much better and are an all Australian grown product and Australian manufactured product, so hopefully the demand picks up like it has done for the other baby formulation companies."

A Yarraley spokesperson said "we believe that giving children the most natural food is the best way to let children grow up naturally.

Mr Damen said this was the first year the farm had grown hemp.

"We got a good harvest from the hemp. The crop looked good and we under sowed it with clover. That's worked out really good. We have knee high food at the moment, from where the hemp crop used to be."

The Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment issues licences to authorise the possession, cultivation, supply and manufacture of industrial hemp. Non-therapeutic uses of industrial hemp include fibre and seed production. Industrial hemp fibre and pulp can be used in textiles, paper and building materials and industrial hemp seed and hemp seed oil can be used in industrial products, cosmetics and food.
