From Paddock to Plate - Our Process
Knowing where your food comes from isn’t just nice to know, it’s an important part of your food purchasing choices.
And if you’re anything like us, putting the health of your family first is non-negotiable.
Which is why at Rosevale Lentils, we’re passionate about the paddock to plate philosophy.
We’d like for you to have complete transparency about the processes we follow to harvest our lentils, and how they end up on your plate.
For decades, Marty and his team have been harvesting our nutritious lentils following refined and tested processes.
“Before we can start the planting process, we have to do a lot of detailed planning,” explains Marty.
Planting
In May each year, we carefully plant the seeds. Together with his team, Marty uses a rotation system to optimally secure the best soil for each crop.
The care and maintenance processes in the months to come are vital to secure the best harvest.
“We take pride in looking after our crops very well every day,” says Marty. This includes getting rid of weeds, monitoring rainfall and offering protection against wind and pests when and where needed.
Harvesting
Harvesting takes place any time from September to late December. Here, timing is critical, as weather conditions can influence the harvesting process.
Our red and French lentils are grown separately and cleaned separately using state of the art food grade cleaners.
“As our lentils are certified as gluten free, the SAP Pathology body tests our produce periodically throughout the year and we clean the machinery thoroughly between uses,” says Marty.
We then store the lentils in large silos on site.
Packaging
When the time comes for the lentils to enter the stage of preparing to go to market, we transport them to a family owned packaging company in Adelaide where they are carefully packaged.
We’ve taken utmost care in choosing the perfect company to handle and package our lentils. We are proud to say that the packaging company we use carries above HACCP rating – they have Food Safety System Certification 22000.
They follow strict food safety guidelines which are continually monitored.
