About Valerie Pearson

Valerie Pearson co-founded Green Living Australia an Australian-owned and operated company located south of Brisbane. The business evolved from a need to create homemade, preservative-free, additive-free foods, and chemical-free body products to combat the ever-increasing food allergy and chemical sensitivity within our society. 

Green Living Australia provides pure cultures, equipment and education for conscious foodies to fill their dietary requirements and gourmet food cravings, and to make all-natural body products that are chemical-free and sustainable. The focus is to enable community members to produce their own artisan cheeses from chevre and cream fraiche to feta and camembert, and boutique lacto-ferments such as kimchi, sauerkraut, natural pickles, kefir and kombucha.
