About us
Woods Foods is a true blue Aussie family business. Its origins are in family-owned and operated company The Woods Group, which first started grain production in Australia’s fertile southern Queensland region in the early 1950s.
Queensland is one of the eight states and territories of Australia. We are located in the southern region of Queensland, about 280 miles from Brisbane on Australia’s east coast. Think of a distance roughly the width of Utah, that’s only one quarter of the width of Queensland! It’s not quite the outback, but it’s certainly on the way.
Our family’s focus on best practice farming techniques and innovation helped it to improve yields year-on-year and ensure the highest levels of quality and food safety.
After growing pulses and sorghum for nearly 25 years on its properties in the small area called Billa Billa, we recognised the potential of these crops to help meet the changing dietary needs of modern consumers, and committed to bringing to market innovative processing techniques.
Woods Foods was formed in 2012 with the production of its signature UltraPulse® Chickpea Flour and now offers an expanded range of premium food ingredients, including grains and seeds, flours and fibers and puffed products.
From production and processing to marketing, distribution and export, we partner with food manufacturers, distributors and marketers across Australia, the United States, and around the world to cater to growing markets, including those with low-fat, high-protein, gluten-free and allergen-free, natural and plant-based requirements.
Dedicated to supporting Australia’s ongoing agricultural development, we’re also a proud industry partner of the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Functional Grains.
