Support farmers at supermarket

From tomorrow, consumers can support farmers when they shop at the supermarket by purchasing WAFarmers’ branded milk.

WAFarmers President Dale Park, along with Harvey Fresh General Manager Paul Lorimer and Coles Managing Director John Durkan, will officially launch the milk at the Heart of WA gala dinner tonight.

“This is a game-changing initiative not only for WAFarmers, but for the agricultural industry in Western Australia,” Mr Park said.

“Consumers will be able to go into a store and use their buying power to make a definite difference to the future of the State’s vitally-important agriculture industry.”

The product will be available in both full cream and hilo varieties at more than 80 Coles stores around Western Australia.

“I urge all consumers to show their appreciation and support for the farmers who work hard every day to put food on their tables by buying WAFarmers’ branded milk,” Mr Park said.

The product is processed and packaged by Parmalat in Western Australia under a special licensing agreement. Forty cents from the sale of every two litre bottle will be distributed via a project fund and other initiatives to assist the development of industry.
