Kaiyu Superfoods

Kaiyu Superfoods was founded by Cate & Pete who both wanted to get back to the land and farming, so they decided to combine farming with their passion for and knowledge of native plants. After much research, they were disappointed to find that the same problems that faced the native fruit industry in the 1990’s still hadn’t been solved, with limited stock and few Ingigenous growers and business owners in the industry (currently around 2%).

Pete is a proud descendant of the Awabakal people from the Hunter Valley Region and grew up in Quilpie and Inglewood Qld. Cate was born in South Australia and lived in various places – her teen years were spent on farms in NSW and Qld.

They set themselves a goal to use the native fruits to create products that everyone can enjoy and also to increase people’s awareness of the health benefits of these amazing fruits. In doing so, they hope to help stimulate demand for native foods so that the industry continues to grow and more Indigenous families and communities will become involved in the industry and benefit from it.
