Congratulations to Matt Ward (OR1990) on being inducted into the Organic Industry Hall of Fame at the 2026 Australian Organic Industry Awards. 

Matt is the Co-Founder of Honest to Goodness, a business he has helped build over the past 24 years into one of Australia's leading organic food companies.

The story is a great example of what can happen when an idea, a strong set of values and plenty of persistence come together. 

What started with a market stall has grown into a nationally recognised business, supporting organic farmers and making organic food more accessible to Australian families.  And there was more good news on the night, with Honest to Goodness taking out Certified Organic Brand of the Year for the second consecutive year. 

The Hall of Fame recognition is particularly significant, acknowledging Matt's contribution to the Australian organic industry over more than two decades.

From Riverview in 1990 to the Organic Industry Hall of Fame in 2026, it is an outstanding achievement and one the Riverview community can rightly celebrate. 

Congratulations Matt — a terrific Old Boy achievement.
