Mr. Alf Orpen

Mr. Orpen has over 15 years of experience in the organic/health field. For the past six years, Mr. Orpen was on the board of the Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA), a cooperative of over 1000 members, including many organic farmers throughout Australia, Asia and the Pacific Islands. BFA's affiliate, Australian Certified Organic (ACO), is the largest certifying agency in Australia. Mr. Orpen travels extensively, educating companies, health professionals and individuals on the hidden negative health effects of modern agriculture and the promising alternative of certified organic.

Ms. Narelle Chenery

A contributing writer for health publications, Ms. Chenery has provided guidelines for consumers on how to read product labels and avoid toxins in their daily lives. After searching unsuccessfully for chemical-free, pure and effective skin care and personal care products, Ms. Chenery began to make her own. Once family and friends tried these nutrient-rich formulas, they encouraged her to start making them for everyone. As co-founder of ONE Group Pty. Ltd. in Australia, Ms. Chenery has created the world's first line of certified organic skin care, hair care and personal care products.
