A desire to save the family farm after industry deregulation led to the formation of Queensland's Barambah Organics. The company sources its milk from its own farm, Spring Creek, at Murgon, in the South Burnett region of Queensland, a three-hour drivenorth-west of Brisbane. Barambah's owners, Ian and Jane Campbell, established the company in 2001 in a bid to add value to their on-farm production and move away from the mainstream agricultural production they believed was sending many farmers broke. Spring Creek has been in the Campbell family since 1912, but deregulation and ongoing pressure on farmgate prices was putting the farm's long-term viability in jeopardy.
