About Us...
- Jill Dyson,
- Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia
- Jill has been running FoodPath in the Southern Highlands of NSW with her partner Nick since April 2010. They have grown the business to a level where they now include a range of activities including tours, workshops and collaboration with others (cooking schools, wineries, etc). Jill grew up in a large family on a sheep station near Crookwell but for the past 13 years has lived in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW. During the past 8 years Jill and Nick have got to know the local producers and continue to promote and support these local small businesses. They have organised and run many food related activities including taste education workshops and producer visits. It was after they organised a successful tour for a group of chefs from some of the best restaurants in Sydney that they realised they could turn their interest into a business - and this led to the setting up of FoodPath - Culinary Tours with a Difference. Now Jill and Nick are working closely with Southern Highlands Tourism and Wingecarribee Council to help raise the profile of their area as a food destination where everyone will benefit - tourists, local consumers and the producers themselves.

Next weekend will be fun in the Highlands. We have a Day Tour on Sat 22 Oct and a Workshop on Sun morning 23 Oct.
The Day Tour starts at the Moss Vale market where we take you to meet the local producers. Then we move on to a great little farm near Moss Vale. This is featured in the Illawarra Mercury Food and Wine Supplement today if you have access to that... We are lucky to be able to visit this private farm which is a great example of sustainability.
After this we head for Robertson where we enjoy lunch at The Cheese Factory Cafe, then on to Small Cow Farm and a Cheese Tasting of their decision cheeses. Mark and Lesley are our most successful artisan cheese makers and visiting their farm is a special treat.
On Sun we have our regular monthly food preserving workshop. This month it is all about pickling. Come and learn how to pickle onions like your grandmother used to, or pickle cucumbers so they still retain their crunch. Steve is even going to show us how to pickle eggs!
