Meet Some Local Food Heroes Erindale Farm has been putting lamb and beef on local plates for 150 years. Brian knows he can trust five generations of experience to hand-pick just the right stock for that mouthwatering experience.

Erindale opened two retail outlets in Bendigo after friends and family raved so much about the taste - they say once you’ve tried it you’re a customer for life. Brian is proud of his top quality tender meat full of flavour, with no antibiotics, steroids or growth promotants. So what are you having for dinner tonight?

Brian, Erindale Farm

Bress Wine, Cider and Produce is the product of Adam’s love of traditional French bred poultry, combined with his years of experience in viticulture and winemaking. He is passionate about sustainability and has transformed the property into a biodynamic farm.

Adam loves sharing his passion for wine and biodynamics with visitors and re-creates the menu each week, attuned to what’s in season. He is delighted with Bress’ James Halliday 5 star rating and inclusion in The Age Good Food Guide 2010 and 2011.

Fringe Fossicking for Food Gold The goldrush of 150 years ago not only attracted thousands of miners, but also families and business people with a huge range of culturally rich personalities, traditions and cuisines.

Our Mediterranean climate and fertile soils are the perfect combination for producing abundant food and wine.

These pioneers of our rich food and produce industry have left us a legacy we must continue to build upon to ensure its sustainability.

Over the years, food producers have refined their traditions and methods to adapt to soils once strewn with gold, transforming them to the fertile soils which thrive today.

The end result is central Victoria’s prosperous local food and produce industry.

We call it “food gold�.

34

THE NORTHERN REGION Northern central Victoria is synonymous for its stone fruits, grapes, apples, pears, tomatoes and lettuces. As part of the Murray Darling Basin - one of Australia’s largest agricultural hubs - grain, rice, livestock and dairy production is prominent. Tatura, for example, is famous for its fine quality cheese, milk and butter. Shepparton and surrounds is home to many Middle-Eastern and European families, giving the region’s produce a distinctively culturally diverse flavour.
