- 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.

Wow time flies and already we have started our "Summer holiday tours". This time last year Nicole Kidman and Keith joined us but we can't guarantee that again I'm afraid! Was just a lovely surprise.
We kick the tours for the year last Friday when a large family asked for a Family Farm Tour - and it just reminded me how much fun it is. Colin does a great job and has loads of animals - and he is happy to run tours on request if he is around.
Bookings are coming in for the Family Farm Tour this Friday 10 Jan at Alan's farm and the Berry Picking Tour this Saturday 11 Jan. These will both be fun and are repeated the following weekend. Alan has a different range of animals and activities and has been running tours for us for a few years now - so you could visit both farms and have a different experience at each.

We are finalising our itinerary for the FoodPath Wollondilly Farm Tour coming up on Easter Sat 30 March. We will be meeting at the R Coffee Co - a great little cafe in Picton where they blend and roast their own coffee beans.
Lunch will be at Pos Keech's new cafe at The Oaks. You may know Pos - she does a lot of catering in the Southern Highlands.
The farms we will visit on this tour include a huge vegetable farm with an interesting story, run by an Italian couple; a family orchard with a huge range of fruit - and jams made from the fruit - and finally an olive and beef farm. A nice variety and it will be an interesting day and we always have fun!
We already have six booked for this tour!! I am very excited about that. So come with us and explore this neighbouring region. Not far to travel from Sydney or from the Highlands and a lot to discover.

I don't think of myself as having green fingers - but sometimes you can get lucky
I am very excited about our first crop of persimmons this year. We have 7 orange orbs on our now bare tree and I can't wait to try them.

We have also had a great crop of passionfruit which we weren't expecting in this cold climate. The north facing verandah has helped! They are yummy too.
AND our strawberries have been fantastic. I bought some plants at the Moss Vale Market and they are such strong plants producing strawberries with a great flavour. They are sending out lots of runners so I am planning to enlarge the strawberry patch to hold many more plants. Get with the strength I reckon!
The apples and lemons have finished now but while I am bragging I may as well post some photos of them too.
My point is - if I can do it, so can you!!
