About Green Grove.
Stretching over twenty metres into the Junee skyline
is the historically rich Junee Flour Mill. Built in 1934-35, the Mill
was not only a town landmark, but a major player in Junee's industrial
progress following the Great Depression.
The Mill employed 25 workers on site and ran around the clock
producing 5.6 million bushels of flour per year, which in today's
dollars would be worth many tens of millions of dollars.
The massive mill took up 9,600 square feet of floor space, was
powered by a 160 horsepower semi-diesel motor and was recognised as one
of the most efficient mills in Australia. Today, the mill building is
being restored in a manner as to capture the 1930's feel of this
substantial, "old world" construction.
A modern day stone mill has been installed converting grain grown on
the Green Grove farm into product for inclusion in licorice, flour and
bread mixes.
What started out as simply a flour mill making flour and bread mixes
now boasts a rapidly growing range of innovative, certified organic
confectionaries increasingly being found in shops around Australia and
overseas. Green Grove holds Level "A" Organic Certification through the
BFA (Biological Farmers Association of Australia, P225). As recognition
that Green Grove Organics are heading in the right direction the company
was the proud winner of the 2002 Riverina Gold Plate Award for
innovative product.
The management and staff are proud of being involved in the fastest
growing section of the world's food industry, "organics" and extend a
welcome to all who wish to come to the Junee operation.
