Why We Chose to Partner with Rural Business Support
Share
Farming families are the heart of Australia. They grow the food that fills our pantries, nourish our communities, and work through the toughest conditions — often without recognition or rest.
At Woodlane Orchard and Sphiker, we know firsthand what it means to live on the land. We’ve felt the sting of hard seasons, and we’ve seen the strength that rural communities draw from one another in times of need.
That’s why we created the Farmers Feeding Farmers – Pay It Forward Pack a simple, practical way to remind those doing it tough that they are not alone.
🤝 Why We Launched This Program
This program was born from conversations with farmers, families, and frontline support organisations. It’s clear that many farming families are facing serious pressures — from drought and flood recovery, to pest damage, rising costs, and emotional fatigue.
But too often, these families suffer quietly.
We wanted to do something real. Something that spoke the language of rural people: no red tape, no big fuss — just practical help and a message of care.
So we teamed up with Rural Business Support, who are true first responders in our rural regions. They’re there when disaster strikes — whether it's fire, financial hardship, or family crisis. They walk alongside farming families with compassion and confidentiality, and we knew they were the right people to help distribute these packs directly to those who need them most.
🥣 What’s in the Pay It Forward Pack?
Each pack is filled with wholesome, shelf-stable meals and snacks made by us at Woodlane Orchard and SPhiker. These meals are:
-
Vegan and gluten-free
-
Made from rescued South Australian produce
-
Packed in home compostable or recyclable packaging
-
Ready in minutes just add water
They’re nutritious, comforting, and simple. But most of all, they’re meals made with care from one farming family to another.

🌱 Together, We’re Stronger
This program is about community.
It’s about kindness.
