About Waltanna Farms & Flaxseed

History of Waltanna Farms

Waltanna Farms is a family owned and run business James and June, Michael and Bronnie Nagorcka.

The Nagorcka family has run a cropping enterprise at Waltanna Farms, at the foot of the Grampians near Hamilton in south-west Victoria, since the 1940s. Growing farm costs and low grain prices led the Nagorckas to value-add to their enterprise, firstly by becoming certifiably organic in 1998.

To survive, Waltanna Farms made a conscience decision to develop its agronomic and economic sustainability.

The Nagorckas, through their innovative work with international companies, and after many overseas visits, their research and engineering business, Waltanna Australia, designed and manufactured much of the specialist processing equipment in their new plant. This also enabled them to find the secret to expelling the oil at a very low temperature in the absence of oxygen and light.

Waltanna Farm's organic production system continues to improve soil structure and fertility, crop yields and production. Adding a processing and bottling plant two years ago has given the infrastructure to grow, process, bottle and market all produce direct from the farm, maining control over quality, purity and fressness.

Flaxseed, or Linseed is one of the world's oldest known cultivated plants. It was first used by ancient societies as medicine to reduce swelling, soothe skin conditions and relieve constipation. But in modern times, the tiny seed has been praised as an important part of a healthy, balanced diet by researchers due to its high source of fibre, essential oils and lignans.

Flaxseed oil has also been shown to be the world's richest source of omega 3, an essential fatty acid that performs a variety of bodily functions and thought to prevent some common diseases.

Flaxseed is the highest known source of lignans, Lignans show strong antioxidant effects and contains 70-800 times more lignans than most other plant sources.
