Our Story
Generations of sustainable agriculture
Our organic story
Australian Organic Meats Group is a partnership between two long-standing farming families with a strong history in organic and sustainable agriculture.
The Tully and O'Leary Families each represent over 100 years of farming history in Australia and are foundation members of the Australian organic movement.
Our families have demonstrated that farming needs to be run in connection with our natural environment. We value integrity, loyalty, reliability, and our rural history.
AOM Group's reputation of providing consistent high-quality products comes down to our long-standing partnerships along the supply chain. We believe every partnership we form with our network of producers is the key reason why we can offer a great range of products for our valued consumers.
The increase in consumer awareness of the production of their food has led to a rapidly expanding global demand for organic food. This has allowed the Australian Organic Meats Group to expand our producer network to offer the range of organic meat products we can currently offer our consumers today.

Heritage & founders
-
Simone & Shane Tully
In the early 1990s, Shane and Simone took on Bingara Station, a 240,000-acre sheep and cattle station in far Western Queensland.
It was from there that Simone began developing her interest in organic production systems and marketing. She has been pioneering the growth in global exports and building supply chain relationships for the Australian organic industry ever since.

Matt O'Leary
It was in 1987 that Matt, a fourth-generation farmer, and his father, Denis, first visited an organic farm. They were excited with what they discovered and that visit became the catalyst to move towards a sustainable agricultural system.
They received A Grade Organic Certification in 1989 and are often referred to as pioneers in the organic industry.
