Local growers and producers play a critical role in our food community. What better way to promote Good, Clean and Fair Food than by getting to know the people that grow and provide your food and 'Shaking the hand that feeds you'?

Producers Directory
Shoalhaven/South Coast region has become a destination for lovers of food (for good reason!) and many come to taste our delicious local produce. Visitors and locals alike want to know where their food is coming from, and how/by whom it is grown. They choose to eat local produce if they know where to find it. As part of our commitment to support and promote our local producers and growers we have compiled a free Producers Directory which is available as a booklet as well as online. Contact us for more info.
If you are a local producer and wish to be included in the Producers Directory, please contact us through the contact page so we can include you in our directory.
Farmers Market(s)
Any thriving food community needs access to fresh local produce, and Farmers Markets have been proven to provide jobs and economic prosperity in local communities. So we're always keen to participate in and support local Farmers Market(s) where you can really 'shake the hand that feeds you'. Come and say hi next time you visit your local Farmers Market!
