Every year we take a selection of our customers on a seasonal pine mushroom foraging trip with the environmental enabler and cultural producer Diego Bonetto "The Weedy One". This year we had an absolute ball and were able to expand our "Meet The Grower" series to "Meet The Educator". 

Diego gave us so many golden nuggets, facts and ways to find pine mushrooms and slippery jacks without damaging the environment. We are so excited about next year's chef adventure. A massive thank you to everyone involved.

After a turbulent year in the fruit and vegetable industry we have rolled into December on a positive note with our last Sydney Direct Fresh Produce farm and market tour of the year.

We had the pleasure of taking thirty top flight chefs to several farms in the local NSW area to learn from the grower themselves. To kick off the day we took the chefs to the Sydney Markets to explore the hustle and bustle of the fruit and vegetable industry.

It is a real pleasure to be featured in the “Leader 2020 Special Issue” from The Sydney Markets. Like many providers, SDFP saw a dramatic reduction in business when COVID-19 derailed the hospitality industry.

This caused our business to reduced sales by 80-85% meaning we had to think fast and smart.

This week we made a flying visit to “The Truffle Farm Canberra” to pick up some of the most exquisite truffles for the season ahead!

We can confirm that we are ready for your orders.

Be sure to ask about the different grades with your accounts manager. It has been tough across the board for most in the industry and if you can support Jayson and his beautiful produce, start ordering away. We will bring you more from Jayson and his farm in the coming weeks.

Luke catches up with Westcare Community Services Director Andrew Paech to discuss how the fresh food contributions from SDFP and Harris Farm Markets have had on the community.

It’s all for the #GreaterGoodness

We want to thank Harris Farm Markest for coming together with SDFP to secure jobs for our team. Not only does this mean we can keep the SDFP train running, but we get to support our growers and the community with fresh fruit, vegetables and everyday staples at this testing time.

We can not stress enough that our goal is to be ready to hit the ground running when the hospitality industry bounces back.

In the meantime, we will be delivered as normal and supporting our customers. It’s time for the hospitality industry to come together more than ever.

One of the goals for 2020 was to educate our customers even more about where their produce is grown. To do this, we will be taking our customers on local NSW farm tours so they can hear it from the source. THE SDFP farm to plate experience is like no other, and we are proud to be pioneering these educational trips for the hospitality space.

Feros Group Executive Head Paul Pirreca explains what he and his team of chefs learnt from our most recent farm tour.
