THE quality and diversity of our award-winning local producers will be beautifully showcased this weekend at the Glasshouse Country Farm Trail.
The event is hosted by the Glasshouse Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Food and Agribusiness Network. Held over two days, October 12-13, it is designed to give locals and visitors a unique opportunity to meet local farm producers, sample delicious fresh produce, and enjoy tours and behind-the-scenes access to some of the region’s best award-winning local farms.
Glasshouse Chamber of Commerce President, Tamara Hazelden, said she was incredibly excited to promote the Glasshouse Country region; the quality of its local producers and what it means to live and thrive in such a beautiful area.
“The trail offers a unique opportunity for people to experience first-hand the amazing produce, creativity and hard work of our local farmers and artisans,” Ms Hazelden said.
“It’s not just about supporting local businesses; it’s about connecting with the heart and soul of Glasshouse Country.
“We want people to come along, enjoy fresh produce-to-table experiences, and create lasting memories with family and friends.”
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, Ms Hazelden said she was pleased to now have seven local producers, along with a host of pop-up producers, and farm stalls participating in 2024.
She noted that the farm trail highlights the area’s natural beauty, the importance of sustainable farming, and the wonderful sense of community that defines the region.
“It’s an experience we’re proud to support, as it truly celebrates the people and land that make Glasshouse Country such a special place to call home.”
