Eating South Australian-produced cheese could also help improve farmer mental health outcomes, thanks to a new partnership.
Adelaide Hills cheese company Udder Delights has paired with the National Centre for Farmer Health, with 20 cents from each of the double cream Brie sold in Coles to go towards activities aimed at boosting mental health and wellbeing.
Udder Delights marketing and events manager Alex Lang said this partnership was a chance to show the company's support for the farmers who supported them.
"Udder Delights value their dairyfarmers who provide them with the milk to make their cheese every day and wanted to give something back to all Australian farmers who provide everyone with fresh food every day," he said.
The Lobethal-based brand has eight farm, located throughout the Adelaide Hills, supplying milk.
A change in the range offered at Coles, brought up the chance to support a farm-based charity with the goals of the NCFH resonating.
"Udder Delights regard everyday mental health, wellbeing and post natural disaster support highly," he said.
"This is why the NCFH was an optimal fit for this initiative."
The NCFH focuses on the prevention and early identification of risk factors associated with the farming community through developing timely, appropriate, effective and interventions.
Farmers can access these online and in person workshops for free.
"We selected our most popular cheese, the Double Cream Brie for this initiative to maximise the contributions back to NCFH," Mr Lang said.
"We're hoping to have this cheese more accessible to all Australians this year.
"While it's readily available in South Australia and in selected independents throughout Australia, we'd love to see this cheese made available in the major supermarkets across Australia to maximise the contributions to the NCFH."
