About Us...
- Jill Dyson,
- Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia
- Click on the link to read Jill's latest blog post. 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). During the past 10 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.

| James and Kerry alpaca eager to say hello |
Meet James and Kerry alpaca - cute aren't they? The kids loved them on our Family Farm Tour.
They also loved collecting the eggs, holding the chooks, seeing the baby goat, checking the yabby traps in the dam, feeding the fish, brushing the horse, watching the 2 day old goslings swimming in the baby bath - and more!!
 |
| Everyone helped to collect the eggs |
 |
| Holding a chook is a skill in itself! |
 |
| Some of the little ones were tentative at first |
 |
| Checking the yabby traps - and there were some big ones! |
 |
| Kids tasted real honey straight from the hive |
 |
| 2 day old goslings - what a treat to see them! |
 |
| Harvey told us all about his bees |
Hopefully Lindy and Harvey will recover soon and will be prepared to run another of these tours next school holidays. They did an excellent job and I know that some of the parents found it very interesting too!
