Woolworths Supermarkets Chief Commercial Officer Paul Harker said: “We know our customers are looking for lower prices and offers to help them manage their budgets, and we want to help them to spend less when they shop with us.
“This season we’ve included a range of products on Prices Dropped for Autumn to ensure families can pick up ingredients for meals, snacks for the family and kids lunch boxes, as well as household essentials at even greater value.
“This is on top of our 6,000 weekly specials and Low Price program. Customers can also enjoy great value in store with our wide range of own brand products which are 30 per cent less on average compared to similar brands.”
With Aussie beef featuring in some of the highlight products in the Autumn program, one supplier that Woolworths works with is Gundamain Pastoral Co., based in Eugowra NSW. The 150-year old family-run farming business has been supplying cattle to Woolworths for more than 20 years.
Tess and Andrew Herbert are the fifth-generation in the family to run the business, and together were recognised as the Australian Farmer of the Year in 2023. Together with their three children they currently employ almost 30 people and manage a 6,000 head cattle feedlot, as well as diversifying their business to crops, lamb, merino wool and even hay production.
Tess Herbert, Director of Gundamain said: “We love what we do and the fact we get to wake up each day and feed the country. It’s incredible knowing that whenever we go to a Woolworths there’s a strong chance that the beef we’re picking up is from our farm.
“We’re constantly striving to improve our product while doing the best we can for animal welfare. It’s important that we can deliver a high quality product that also meets consumers’ expectations around sustainability.
“Our partnership with Woolworths has given us consistency and certainty, which helps us plan ahead in terms of what we need to order and supply. This in turn has helped our business continue to grow.”
Woolworths’ Australian First Sourcing Policy means that it’s committed to selecting fresh home grown produce wherever possible. Currently, 96% of the supermarket’s fresh fruit and vegetables and 100% of its own brand fresh meat, chicken, eggs and milk come from Australia.
