The workshop is a great opportunity for food, beverage, food services and hospitality businesses to step out of the business for the day and work on your business.

Chef Kiri was one of our local chefs who attended our recent Meet the Local Buyer event. She's well known for her love and support of local Tastes of the Mid West products and producers through her food blog (Feeding a family - Making food from scratch) and her mobile Have a Delicious Day. One new producer, B&R Buffalo is on the menu for a new local event! Great job Chef Kiri! :)

Well done to Janet from Heavenly Hectares Honey - one of our smaller honey producers doing great things. Small but mighty! :)

Feeling pretty proud. Third place in the Light Honey category for the honey month comp in Perth.

Wow - some fantastic news hot off the press here for the team at 30knotsdistillery! Just 10 days ago they were hosting our very first Meet the Local Buyer and now casually just getting this global award! Great job Kelly & Murray - keep up the great work! :)

Big news from across the seas.

Our Sea Spray Gin has been awarded Double Gold at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Double Gold is only awarded when every judge on the panel gives a spirit a Gold medal rating in a blind tasting.

Every judge. That's more than 70 of them.

We're pretty chuffed with that.

To see a gin made in Geraldton recognised at this level is something we're genuinely stoked about.

Thanks to everyone who has backed us, bought a bottle, shared our story, visited the distillery or recommended us to friends. Our dream is only a reality because of you.

P.S. We may have picked up another award while we were at it... 🥃
