History

Officially formed in 1898, the process of forming a health food company had been in discussions amongst Seventh-day Adventists in Australia for a number of years. To help the company get started, a baker by the name of Edward Halsey was called out from the United States, arriving in Sydney on November 8, 1897. The Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA), colloquially referred to as the Adventists, is an evangelical Protestant Christian denomination that grew out of the prophetic Millerite movement in the United States during the middle part of the 19th century. ... Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and with a population of over 4 million people which makes it the most populous city in Australia. ...
