This recipe calls for natural beauty, energy and spirit. Add to the mix a great climate and dedicated growers and producers. Voila ! A developing menu of flavours is born – delicious and fresh and totally East Gippsland.

Behind the backdrop of picturesque scenery there are culinary gems emerging. A range of growers and producers are building on their enthusiasm and expertise to develop productive links with local chefs and restaurants. This is good news for you. Sample some of the best East Gippsland produce and take some home with you. Treats like ripe, juicy berries and flavoursome fruit, fresh fish with a ‘just caught’ flavour or prime Gippsland beef. Take your pick of cheeses with organic goat varieties at the forefront. This cornucopia of delights covers every food group you could imagine. Even back home you will probably be eating East Gippsland produce. The famous Four’n’’Twenty Pie and other baked delights are made in Bairnsdale. The fertile river flats of Lindenow and the Snowy River Region produce all kinds of vegetables and salad leaves that you buy each day from your supermarket. Our fish is shipped to Melbourne each day. Eat, drink and be very, very glad you visited East Gippsland.
