We all love eating fresh and and seasonally - it just tastes better. Meeting the farmers, growers and makers is both fun and rewarding. Smell the fresh air, see the red soils of the Gembrook potatoes, feel the soft loam soils underfoot as you forage, drive down to the famous the U-Pick orchards. Taste the difference as you indulge in your bounty at days end.
Seeking out the juiciest peach, the sweetest cherry and the crunchiest apple throughout the food bowl that is the Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges is a treat you can never get enough of.
