Local Produce

This area has long been famed for its rice and grain products, but citrus, stone fruit and organic meats are fast becoming new heroes of the region.

Look for oranges, avocados, walnuts, pistachios and almonds and free range pork – all of which feature on local menus or are available to taste and purchase from the producers themselves.

Chat with the wine-makers, meet the locals and enjoy the fresh produce via a farm gate experience along the Backroads Trail. Visit working farms where the owners are heavily involved in all stages of harvest, production and sales. Many are memorable characters with great stories to share, so make sure you take time to soak up the atmosphere as you explore the paddocks and the produce.
