Harvey Fresh no longer WA owned
« on: April 10, 2014, 08:59:59 am »
At Aussie Farmers Direct, we are committed to delivering the best quality, 100% Australian products to you. Due to the recent sale of Harvey Fresh to Italian-owned company, Parmalat, we have decided to replace our milk range with Brownes.

Brownes is proudly a WA dairy company and have been supplying generations of West Australians with fresh dairy products since 1886. It collects milk from over 61 dairy farmers from the south west of WA.

Such a shame that so many businesses are being sold to overseas companies. ???

I heard that last week so I didn't buy my usual Harvey Fresh  milk and orange juice.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

We got the same email from AFD yesterday, it's a shame another business has gone to an OS company.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I agree totally. (although nearly always buy Brownes anyway)

Although I think I'd rather an Italian company than Chinese based...they don't have a very good reputation with milk.
