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.

Would you like to do something different? Like a day in the country meeting the real people behind the food we eat?
Come and meet 16 baby Boer goats! Hear Alan talk about his truffle trees and his hopes for a first "crop" this year at his beautiful property near Moss Vale.
Enjoy a leisurely long table lunch at the stunning Mount Ashby Estate winery. Eon will talk to us about where he sources his ingredients and what he has cooked for us. Enjoy a wine tasting while we are there.
Move on in time to watch the afternoon milking at a nearby dairy at Burrawang. Here Tammy and Craig tell us how they came to build their modern, computerised facility and it is very interesting. Have a taste of real milk straight from the cow!
Last, but by no means least, come with us to meet Lesley and Mark at Small Cow Farm. Mark will tell us about his cheese making and how they started with Dexter (small) cows. We will enjoy a cheese tasting of their wide range of cheeses and you can purchase some straight from the farm.
This is a new itinerary and we are very lucky to include some places not normally open to the public.
For bookings or more information check the Tours page on the FoodPath website www.foodpath.com.au or ring Jill on 0419 617 021.
