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.

We are very happy that Noel Arrold has agreed that FoodPath can take a tour of the famous mushroom tunnel in Mittagong on the 1st Wed of the month, every month.
First tour is on Wed 7 July 2010.
Tourism Southern Highlands reports that they are always being asked by visitors if they can see the mushroom tunnel. It is very popular and access to the tunnel is limited - so our tours will help in this regard.

Noel runs a very successful business with his Li-Sun exotic Mushrooms.
You can find them at the Fox Studio markets in Sydney, the Kings Cross Farmers Market, Bowral markets, Harris Farm Bowral and many more places I'm sure.
Let me know if you have seen the Li-Sun mushrooms anywhere else?
We are offering two options on our Mushroom Tunnel Tour -
1. The tunnel only. We will meet you at a nearby car park and take you to the tunnel where we are taken on a guided tour.
2. A half day tour where we meet for morning tea first, go to the tunnel, then move on for a mushroom lunch (using mushrooms from the tunnel of course) at a cafe in a lovely setting nearby.
Check the Tours page of the website for details,
email jill@foodpath.com.au or ring on 0419 617 021 for more information.
This old disused tunnel is well worth visiting. A fascinating tour where we see how the mushrooms grow and hear about the business from the scientist and business owner.
You will be amazed by the colours and shapes of these mushrooms!
