Garden to plate

Pair flavoursome fare with picturesque views, as you tuck into a delicious dish - fresh from the garden, to your restaurant plate.

Across Victoria, innovative chefs are embracing sustainable farming practices. Traditional growing methods keep produce fresh. The ever-changing menu reflects what's in season. Cafes and restaurants forage, gather and grow heirloom vegetables, herbs, fruits and nuts to incorporate into their meals.

Farmyard chickens secure a place in the pecking order. They provide fresh eggs and help maintain the health of garden soil. Indigenous plants attract insects and bees, encouraging pollination and adding a unique twist to a simple dish. Local farmers pitch in with artisan produce when needed, strengthening the community connection.

Sit back and sample what's in season in the regions - straight from farm, to table.
