Black Duck Foods are selling the first bags of Yambulla’s native grain flour to Melbourne restaurants and local businesses!
At Yambulla, Black Duck Foods harvest Wattle seed (Acacia melanoxylon), Spear grass grain (Austrostipa bigeniculata) and Kangaroo grass grain (Themeda australis).
This is processed into flour and sold to bakeries and some of Melbourne’s best restaurants. Our fabulous local bakery Wild Rye’s in Pambula used this native flour recently to bake golden loaves of bread and the local community rushed in to buy it.
Considering Yambulla founder Jim Osborne and Bruce Pascoe only met two years ago, it’s a huge achievement that Black Duck Foods are now selling flour from Yambulla’s grasses and trees. The generosity, rich wisdom and techniques from Black Duck Foods have made this all possible.
When you come and stay at Yambulla, you too can experience the flowing fields of native grain and bread that is made from these fields. As you break into a warm beautiful loaf from the oven or Johnny Cakes cooked over a picnic fire, you too will become part of the future of food in Australia.
We are incredibly proud to donate 20% of all lodge revenue to Black Duck Foods and ethical Native Food production.
Feel at home in our secluded, architect-designed off-grid guest lodge. Surrounded by nothing but nature as far as the eye can see.
Cool and breezy inthe summer and cosy with wood-fired central heatingin the winter.
We acknowledge the First Nations Peoples as the first inhabitants and traditional custodians of the Yambulla valley and surrounding areas.
We recognise and value their continuing connection to the land and culture.
