29 May 2016

Growing Victoria Food Cooperative now have 60 farmer/producers from Yarrawonga to Apollo Bay creating great food and drink for their Responsible, Ethical, Australian and Local (REAL) food Packs. This month the GV Food Cooperative are asking you to bring back the “Bush Telegraph” – please contact a neighbour now and help connect them.

By purchasing “7 farmers in a pack” our agriculture industry can survive and maybe one day thrive!

This month you will enjoy the products of at least 7 of the 60 small country based producers. This might include:

  • Tea and Scandal from Amy and Kirsten in Apollo Bay;
  • A great wine from Alice at Tallis Wines in Dookie;
  • A fabulous tomato sauce from the Henry family at Glencoe Farm; or
  • Something wonderful fromthe Rich Glen estate, another family owned business producing around 150 products, all passionately made on their property in Yarrawonga.
