- 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 Norman has agreed to FoodPath taking people to see his potato farm at Robertson. This will have to be on a Sunday in January or February because on Saturday they are busy at the markets. I think it will be very interesting to show childen where their potatoes come from and let them dig for themselves to find some! We will try to include this in one of our family tours in January.
On Sat 11 Dec Norman sold lots of potatoes at the Moss Vale Farmers' Market - where we offer a Farmers' Market Tour. This is held on the 4th Sat of the month.
It is important that FoodPath works in with farmers who are busy running their businesses. Many of these farms are not normally open to the public and we are lucky to be able to take groups to visit them on occasions.
Keep an eye on our website to see if there are any upcoming tours that appeal to you. Contact us from the website with any questions - www.foodpath.com.au.
