It is my mission to get everyone to buy local produce and be supporters of their local farmers markets as its important to look after our little local producers. Pop along and see what's local and in season and sample some of the produce on offer. Great for helping with seasonal menus and reducing food miles. We quite often showcase local producers who are doing something different at our QLD FBI events. Check out our event calendar for the next QLD FBI and other foodie events.
