Over the past 16 years, we've been on an incredible journey with GF Oats.
One filled with oat-standing milestones, bold ideas, and a whole lot of heart. From humble beginnings to becoming a pantry staple across Australia, here are just a few highlights I'm so very proud to share.
🌾 1. Pioneered Uncontaminated Oats in Australia
GF Oats was the first to introduce uncontaminated oats to the Australian market, despite the complex and often misunderstood labelling laws around oats and gluten.
🧪 2. Built a Trusted Testing Protocol
Every batch of oats is independently tested in Australia to ensure they contain nil detectable gluten from wheat, rye, and barley - all adhering to the Global Oats Purity Protocol.
🇦🇺 3. Transitioned to 100% Aussie-Grown Oats
In 2022, GF Oats proudly shifted its supply from the US to Australian farmers, partnering with Avena Mills in WA to grow uncontaminated oats locally under strict purity protocols.
🛍 4. Widespread Distribution Across Australia & NZ
GF Oats products are now stocked in over 2,500 locations across Australia and New Zealand, including health food stores, bulk shops, and selected IGAs.
🌱 5. Maintained a Farm-to-Table Philosophy
We have a commitment to sustainable, allergen-free, minimal-impact farming and processing practices ensures a clean, nutritious product from seed to plate.
📈 6. Supported Thousands With Special Dietary Needs
From families with coeliac disease to those navigating food allergies or intolerances, GF Oats has made oats accessible again to many who thought they had to give them up forever.
🧡 7. Built a Loyal Community
With over 15,000 online customers and countless fans, GF Oats has cultivated a warm and engaged community, grounded in trust, health, and deliciousness.
💡 8. Advocated for Labelling Change and Consumer Education
Despite facing industry resistance, GF Oats has consistently educated consumers and campaigned for clearer, more inclusive labelling laws in Australia.
🍪 9. Expanded into Innovative Oat-Based Products
From traditional oats to flavoured mueslis, ANZAC biscuits, and chocolate oat snacks, GF Oats continues to innovate while staying true to its core values.
🏆 10. Fulfilled a Founder’s Dream
The vision - to make uncontaminated oats available and trusted across the Southern Hemisphere has been realised, and continues to grow stronger every year.
None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible support of our community. Every customer, stockist, team member, and cheerleader along the way...
I'm beyond grateful for each person who’s believed in our mission, shared our oats, and helped us grow. Here’s to the next chapter full of more connections, more goodness, and of course, more oats!
