With a growing number of organic producers and specialty growers harvesting crops from saffron to wasabi, along with high quality stone fruits, apples, pears, potatoes, onions, avocadoes, nuts and herbs, Tasmania offers local consumers and interstate visitors a chance to sample quality produce and flavours that you rarely taste in their just-harvested state.

You will also find boutique cheese producers, beekeepers selling fresh clover and leatherwood honeys, and some small and one very large chocolate factory.

Farms, such as Brickendon, at Longford in the northern Midlands, have been working their land for six generations. In the far north-west, at Woolnorth, you can find out about a farm once run by the Van Diemen’s Land Company, and now a dairy farm.

Our cool clean waters grow Atlantic salmon - the clean waters mean their diet is natural, free from antibiotics and hormones. You will find the best oysters, abalone, mussels, scallops, crayfish, snapper, blue-eye trevalla, flathead and much more.
