25.01.2022 It’s so good to get out and about again to reconnect our producers around Gippsland ! Luke Wallace is one of Gippsland Jersey’s farmers - and we got to meet some of his Jersey girls this morning in Poowong, South Gippsland. ... Gippsland Jersey is one of the participants in our SME Export Support Program and as one of their milk suppliers, Luke’s story is an important part of theirs. And we’re chuffed to be able to tell it to the world ! #gippslandtrustedprovenance #dairy #gippsland #regionalvictoria

25.01.2022 Farmer’s Markets are a lot of work for a dedicated and passionate group of volunteers - which is why Louise Leighton from Warragul Farmers Market is holding onto the winners’ board for this year’s Excellence in Service to the Food & Fibre industry Award. We’re sure this board will appear somewhere at the next market - and be put to good use forever more !

25.01.2022 Our Young Agribusiness Leader of the Year Rob Bayley received his trophy today. We are a practical bunch at Food & Fibre Gippsland - so we don’t do traditional trophies. We think of something different each year that can be used on a regular basis - not sit in a cabinet gathering dust. ... Last year it was an engraved silver water jug - which we know have been used in the winner’s offices all over Gippsland. This year it’s a grazing board - etched / engraved with the winner details - and destined to be used as the foundation for many a platter and food inspired family or work event. Congrats Rob - looking forward to hearing all about your experiences with the leadership course you’ve won when you meet up with the prize sponsor - Australian Rural Leadership Foundation #excellenceawards #gippsland #gippslandproducers #gippslandproduce #gippslandtrustedprovenance

24.01.2022 What an awesome effort by the Prom Coast Food Collective - in a challenging year, their sales reach over $900,000 !!!!! Congratulations Sally and Amelia, and the amazing collaborative and passionate farming group you’ve created - you are all inspirational ! #repost Prom Coast Food Collective... $933,203.23 in sales in 2020. Umwoah. That’s almost quadruple on 2019 This is the amount of money, to the cent, which was poured back into the pockets of the organic and regenerative farmers and makers on the Collective in the calendar year of 2020. And we’re mighty proud of that. We farmed, we delivered, we hustled, we pivoted, we fretted, we bounced children on knees to get it done. Every single week. During a pandemic. And we’re proud of that. Butreallyyou, our awesome customers did this. Everyone who has supported us, helped invigorate our local economy by achieving this number. We are still the Collective that happy dances with every order; still the Collective which you can contact directly and talk to us if there’s a problem or question. Every single order which comes in sees an actual farmer or maker receive 90 cents in the $1. We are the farmers, and we stand with the farmers. We farm well so that you may eat well. Our drivers and packing team are farmers or locals, adding further security in our region. And we’ve just begun to hit our stride. Female, feisty and farmer-led, we will make change to the dominant farming and food system.

Late last year Outback Chef moved to a new home, a rural property at Rhyll on Phillip Island in Victoria and opened the Wild Food Farm to showcase some of Australias fantastic native herbs, spices, fruits and berries.... The Wild Food Farm and Caf was opened early February 2020. The farm gates opened to welcome visitors who quickly claimed a sunny spot on the verandah at the homestead caf to enjoy a modern Australian menu with a native food influence. Visitors are free to wander the plantations Native Food trail, take time to meditate and enjoy the unique aromas of the Australian bush, plants such as Strawberry Gum, Lemon Myrtle and Lilli Pilli and many more grow with the seasons, enjoying the rain when it comes and tolerating the drought when it doesnt. The Wild Food Farm has an ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability as well as an educational one; only with knowledge will we fully understand and appreciate the qualities and value of these plants for our health and well-being and for the important links connecting us spiritually to the land of this unique country.
