History
The current Valley Pack site has been in the Hall family since the turn of the 20th Century. Ian Hall, born in Ardmona in 1931, began farming the existing orchard in 1950’s growing fruit for the Ardmona Fruit Canning facility.
With the help of his wife Jeanette, and the return home of their eldest Mark, they expanded into Fruit Export and Cold Storage with orchards in Mooroopna, Ardmona and Toolamba. By the 1980’s, the Halls were one of the largest suppliers of Apricots for canning in Australia.

Taylor
In 2011 after completing a Bachelor of Engineering, Taylor Hall (Grandson of Ian Hall) joined the family business.

Starting with his 1 st truck, the Transport division now boasts, 12 Heavy Vehicle Combinations, 15 Trailer Combinations, 2 side-loaders and 2 Road Train combinations. The fleet is fitted with GPS tracking devices, dashcams and are all NHVR approved.
