Food Connect is truly the best thing that has happened to me. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be in the farming business any more. It’s so good not to be forced to go to the central market any more, not to have to use unnecessary packaging and to come in and meet the beautiful people in the Homestead instead. It makes it all worthwhile.

Food Connect as a business puts the farmers’ needs and requirements as a priority at all times. They are always there to help with advice or information needed by farmers to do with growing their products sustainably. On a personal level, they are absolutely wonderful people.

As the citrus season comes to the end for another year, Kate and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you at Food Connect for your support in the purchasing of our citrus throughout this season. We especially enjoyed the farm tour to Gayndah this winter, as it gave us the opportunity to meet and put faces to the people behind the phone calls to Food Connect. We very much enjoyed the meeting of your subscribers and talked about the visit for weeks after the event! We felt that they were all grass roots type people not much different from ourselves.

Keep up the good work and we look forward to supplying you with our fresh, in-season produce for years to come.
