We are really proud to have been selected as finalists for our rocambole garlic in the "From The Earth" category, for the 2nd year running and from a record number of entries from all over Australia. Despite the rather harsh growing season most fresh food producers have just battled through or are still struggling with the aftermath of, our little nation has still come up with a record number of entrants for this years' awards - really fantastic!

We have been invited to the Awards Night at Guillaume At Bennelong (@ Syd. Opera House) in my 'old stomping ground' Sydney, later this month. Our attendance is very 'up in the air' this time but we'd love to be there if we are able to in the end.

We are really happy for several of our Vic. friends who have also been chosen as finalists: Kylie and Paul's scrumptious Wurrook Superfine Prime Lamb (beautiful Sunday roast last weekend thanks folks!), Fiona and Nick Chambers' Fernleigh Free-Range Pork for this years' chorizo, Vicky and Nick's Sher Wagyu Beef, Allan and Lizette's Warrialda Belted Galloway Beef, Anne-Marie and Carla's Holy Goat La Luna (soft goat's cheese) and Penninsula Fresh Organic's heirloom veg. Congratulations everyone and best wishes towards winning the major 'gong'!
We truly feel for a couple of other friends who missed out on the chance to be nominated for this year's awards due to the extensive effects of the super wet season on their farms and wish them every success for the upcoming season and future recognition for your great produce and hard work.
The 2011 National Judges: Alla Wolf-Tasker (The Lake Hosue Vic), Matt Moran (Aria Restaurant, NSW/Qld), Cheong Liew (The Botanical, Vic), Philip Johnson (E'cco Bistro, Qld) and Maggie Beer (SA)
