Accolades went to the AuraGold Farms Ooray Rain Plum Sugar-Free Mixer which beat off stiff opposition to take the Winner’s Trophy in the Non-Alcoholic Beverages category and a Highly Commended Award for their Ooray Rain Plum naturally Fermented Liqueur, jointly with Stanthorpe based Castle Glen -Australia.
Ooray Rain Plum Mixer 2010 Food Challenge Awards Winner
‘Amazing to think both these products are so young and yet have already gained recognition from the public and industry peers with these awards’, says Scott Mathias, Managing Director of Queensland based , LivingBeautiful Pty Ltd, owners of the AuraGold Farms brand. ‘What is even more amazing is that we were up against opposition who have been in business so much longer than ourselves- names like Bayer, Bickfords -Australia, Madura Tea Estates, The Sunraysia Natural Beverage Company, Good Vibes for You Organic Water and the Stolen Recipe Company’.
Judges described AuraGold Farms Ooray Rain Plum Mixer entry as ‘innovative, inspiring and filled with passion as well as demonstrating the sustainability of the main ingredient – the Ooray Rain Plum along with a marketing and sales approach which widely uses social media platforms such as FaceBook and Twitter to reach potential customers’.
‘With growing awareness around the concept of ‘sugar-free’ the Rain Plum Mixer fits a market demand which is growing by the month at the same time offering an antioxidant hit which is 100% Pure and Australian – the ingredients are not from overseas which means local farmers and packaging companies gain direct benefit’, says Scott Mathias.
Food Magazine Editor Ms Catherine Pickavet, says the Food Challenge Awards recognise excellence in Australia’s food and beverage industry, which, according to the Australian Food and Grocery Council, is the largest manufacturing sector in the country, representing 28% of the market. ‘Manufacturers face the pressure to make food and beverages that comply with a multitude of mandates, both written and unwritten. While these issues present a unique combination of challenges, they also offer opportunities for innovations both home and abroad’, says Catherine Pickavet.
Ms Pickavet added the Awards recognise what the winners accomplished this year as they meet the needs of loyal customers who want food and beverages that excite them, at the same offering direct benefits.
The AuraGold Farms Ooray Rain Plum Sugar-Free Mixer is available online for immediate shipping and from the Noosa Farmers Market each Sunday as well as from all Jan Powers Farmers Markets in and around Brisbane: PowerHouse Market, New Farm 2nd and 4th Saturday; CBD Market, Brisbane Square every Wednesday; Wynnum Manly Market every 3rd Saturday.

In my role as a health educator and researcher I come across dozens of people each week suffering from chronic digestive issues all fundamentally bought about through the prolonged consumption of poor or sub-standard food. Commonsense will tell most people (although it is fast becoming a dying phenomenon) that if you eat something and minutes or even hours later your suffer from pain in your stomach that something is amiss. Right ? Wrong!
Many people will continue to eat commercially produce bread containing an array of additives, not to mention the gluten content, and wonder why they suffer from bloating within minutes of eating it. The same goes for dairy products – milk or what passes for milk, cheese and yogurt (not all yogurts were created equal btw) and SUGAR, now known as the ‘white death’. Most folk will run off to their GP and get a pharmaceutical prescription for something which might, at best, mask the symptomatic responses to eating inappropriate food and in fact could be simply fixed by changing a few things in one’s diet.
The stomach lining could best be described as nano-organic bio-computing device. The lining is made up of an array of very fine blood vessels into which ‘seeps’ appropriate vitamins, minerals and any other nutrients the body needs to maintain its daily function. Nutrients, by way of a variety of ‘nutritional data capturing devices’ built into the stomach lining will prioritise where nutrients should be sent to – primary organs, cardiovascular, brain and so on. Now if the stomach lining is malfunctioning because inappropriate foods are injested then over time the body will start to malfunction.
Many people I see over the age of 40 are suffering in one way or an other. Usually the first area of complaint is the stomach and intestine. The intestine is the grave yard for things like unprocessed proteins such as dairy and meat products which the stomach has been unable to process properly.The intestine in most people is filled with an array of rather horrible and scary bugs, bacteria, parasites and fungus – mostly as a result of the stomach not working properly.
Colitis, diverticulitis, celiac, IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome are the names given to certain inflammations in the intestine which may stem from a sub optimal stomach/digestive process.
Take heart. There are natural options available now to consider along with sound advice from your GP or specialist.
We produce a 100% Pure Green Papaya Powder with Ooray Rain Plum which contains a live enzyme called papain. Take a small amount of this living enzyme with water before or after a meal. The papain enzyme is renown for its ability to process proteins more efficiently, which means pressure is taken off your digestive metabolism, proteins are completely processed and drop into your intestine more easily so little or no compacting occurs. Elimination is easier, general absorption is better, energy returns to the body and the cheeks begin to flush again-all because the stomach starts to function better.

This is a truly amazing result which must be taken at face value. ‘Horses for courses’, I say, as results can vary from one person to another, depending on one’s health condition.
Read more about the Ooray Rain Plum’s rich antioxidant qualities.
Australia’s own antioxidant booster rivals any of the ‘more famous’ varieties now getting unprecedented media attention. For me this is miles better. High levels of anthocyanins – 8220mg/100g which the scientist doing the testing described as ‘extraordinary levels’. High levels of Myrtillin and Keracyanin were also found in sampling; both of these antioxidants are associated with managing serotonin and blood sugar levels. Antioxidants are known to work on all cellular levels.
Consuming even moderate levels of antioxidant rich ‘red juices’ may help prevent atherosclerosis.

Melbourne based, William Angliss Institute, the pre-emminent Australian specialist centre for foods, tourism and hospitality is now trialing the AuraGold Farms range of Ooray Rain Plum products in the lead-up to the launch of a new Australian Wildfoods culinary course for both professional chefs and home cooks.
While there is an emphasis on the health giving qualities of the range AuraGold Farm’s Scott Mathias says the Rain Plum has a prominent place in any recipe combination either as a dried product, powdered and whole, for use in sauces, chasseurs, desserts and the Ooray Rain Plum Liqueur and the Ooray Plum Mixer, for use in sweet and dessert formats.
‘The plum is so Australian and incredibly distinctive in its taste and fragrance, it presents an ideal proposition for use in fine dining recipes’, says Scott Mathias. ‘Our goal is to ultimately get the plum onto premium airline and hotel menu’s in a way not imagined and William Angliss’s interest in our range is a fantastic opportunity to ‘initiate’ chefs and cooks alike into the magic of this ancient fruit’.
William Angliss Short Course Manager, Pauline Dine, says the initial reaction from her tutor chefs ranges from ‘enthusiastic to exciting’.
‘We have so far kitchen tested the liqueur and the powder and all I can say is that the Ooray Rain Plum holds great promise for being one of mainstays of our new Australian Wildfoods course for both professional chefs and home cooks’, says Ms Dine.
Enquiries for the the course which is slated to begin in July can be made by going to : http://www.anglisstraining.com/wai_shortcourses/courses/

I am often asked how I conduct myself on a daily basis – what I eat ? and what I think and feel ? So I thought I would re-share some thoughts originally posted last year via the AuraGold Farms faceBook Fans page.
‘Well unlike other suggestions to achieve longevity based on science, this is what I AM DOING because I have the simple desire to maintain my present physical state – well beyond those prescribed by human social belief or dogma and especially those dictated by so-called modern medicine, which in a number of cases is actually killing more people than keeping them alive.
1. I believe in Gene-Nutrition – using foods to recalibrate or re-school certain genomes based on the creation of certain thoughts motivated totally by my intention to maintain my physical body well beyond 100 earth years old- a mere blink in cosmic terms. In other words I make a ‘connection’ with my food on the basis it is my body’s need first and foremost not the need of my senses.
2. I choose to balance my metabolism by eating the correct caloric balanced foods – eggs, salads,cooked vegetables, fruit, fish, red foods in season – tomatoes, strawberries, and antioxidant functional foods such as beetroot, carrot, kale, and indigenous fruits such as the Ooray Fruit or Davidson plum. I do not labour my body with heavyweight acid based foods such as beef or pork but I do take a little fish periodically. I enjoy a glass of red wine every now and again. I do NOT eat breakfast cereal from a packet. More often or not I will take my VegeShot first thing and do brunch which might comprise of hummus, fried tomatoes (usually heritage tomatoes from one of my market neighbours),some pesto if its done, gluten free and organic lavosh (I do NOT eat bread of any kind now), perhaps the remains of some light curried vegetables from the night before and a cup of plum tea.
I have removed all dairy products from diet along with flour based products including pasta. I have removed all sugar from my diet other than naturally occuring fruit and vegetable sugars. I buy much of my food from my local farmer’s markets – fortunately I have the advantage of being a market person so I am able to access freshly picked or harvested fruit and vegetables each week.
3. I offer thanks for EVERYTHING I EAT AND DRINK. My level of gratefulness and thanks is immeasurable. You do not need to do the math to work out why.
The Rainbow Lotus
4. I drink copious amounts of rain water (not tap water)because I harvest this water inot tanks around my house and RED sugar free vegetable and fruit juices.
5. I use my imagination to transport my mind to the most distant points of the Omniverse – I am not limited to just think within the limitations of this Earthly world or this solar system. I then imagine a direct line back to my body of totally clean creator force. I imagine walking on other stars and planets with my physical body – perhaps somewhat lighter than it is at present but nevertheless ‘my body’.
6. I maintain awareness around assuaging – gently ridding my system of aggregations of toxins from a range of domestic, environmental and mental sources – I owe it to my bio-system to do this now. My body wants to remember its perfection. I am doing all I can to help its memory. My bio-system has perfect immunity and does not require interference from man-made medicine or pharmaceuticals. Within our DNA is the memory of PERFECTION which spans all cellular levels. eating food which enhances this memory of the grux of Quantum Nutrition.
7. I relate to the etheric and elemental energies of the planet Earth upon which I walk. I continually express THANKS for being allowed to be a guest here!! I know as I heal my being, so too does Planet Earth – I heal from the land I walk on and Earth heals from the thoughts I have!!! My relationship with Earth which BTW is an anagram for the word H-E-A-R-T is paramount. My relationship with ‘everything-all there is’ is through Mother Earth. She is in the throes of evolving and we are with her so it make sense we do this together. It also means there is no room for ‘imposter energies’ or being led in inappropriate directions, simple because my focus is in the ‘right ‘ place for me, and I stress me. It is not the same for everyone.
8. I walk my purpose and yes this took sometime to ascertain but I find when I remind myself of why I am here then I feel more relaxed and very much less accepting of the dogma of organised thought whether it be religious, medical, media or philosophical. I leave a wave of energy behind and around me filled with only the most precious thoughts for EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY.
9. My work with other human beings supports all I AM in this world – all motivations are derived from a place of GOODNESS not greed, avarice or jealousy.
10. In every moment I have all I need to sustain my biosystem and breath – no more and no less and for this I offer THANKS.
So just a few thoughts from me. Feel free to make any comments if you desire.
Thank you.
