- 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.

Well, we have busy weeks and we have quiet weeks but the last seven days have seen us run five tours and activities. That must be the busiest we have been for quite a while.
First we had two Mushroom Tunnel Tours on Tues 20 Nov. These are always popular and are very interesting. We are only able to run these tours for SH Tourism three times a year and we have our dates for next year now.
They are:

On Thurs 22 Nov we had a large group from Sydney who came on a Day Tour with us visiting farms and meeting the people who grow our food. Everyone had fun, including us - it is my favourite tour.

| Hearing about growing truffles - everyone was fascinated |

| Waiting patiently while Craig talked to us in the dairy |

| A delicious lunch at the Studio Restaurant |
On Sunday we had fifteen on our table at Celebration Sunday at Biota Dining. Another great meal and good company. Looking forward to more again next year from the last Sun in Feb 2013.
To cap it off we ran a Cheese Tasting of local cheese for forty members of Bowral/Mittagong Rotary on Tues night this week. It is good to inform our locals about the wonderful things we have in our area and they all loved the cheese and now know where they can buy it.
Everything went swimmingly and we look forward to more of the same.

Our Day Tour on Sat 21 Jan has been booked out for a private birthday group! There was considerable interest in this day despite the fact that there were no firm bookings.
We decided to offer another tour for the next day Sun 22 Jan 2012 and were able to organise a similar itinerary. Now we have several people booked and paid! This is very exciting for us - it is the first time we have had two Day Tours on the same weekend - and we are looking forward to it.
There are a couple of spaces left so if you would like to join us on Sun 22 Jan please let us know ASAP and we will send you a booking form. M: 0419 617 021.
Price $110 includes morning coffee, berry picking, lunch and tastings. Product and produce available for sale.

I am feeling very happy today looking back over the past
four days. Such a variety of activities and everything went swimmingly.
Great feedback coming in from the Probus tour on Thurs which
I have forwarded on to our "partners" on the itinerary. Without them
and all of us working well together it would not happen
Now more forward planning - never a dull moment. Let me know
if there is anything you would like in particular?
Don't forget it is much easier for us to work with groups -
groups of friends, family, workmates - all good. Thinking Xmas parties? Maybe
we can help.
