Pemberley recently hosted its fourth Paddock to Plate event with Ryan's Quality Meats.
The menu for the event was crafted to celebrate seasonal produce and highlights the outstanding quality of our region's offerings. Each dish honours the land and those who steward it, including some of the finest meats, produce, and wine available, all from the Southern Forests. The menu detailed each producer, a reminder of the hands and hearts behind every ingredient.
As we savoured the flavours, we took a moment to reflect on the impact of our region on the broader agricultural community. These achievements don’t happen by chance; they come from the commitment of every farmer, every producer, and every business who believes in the value of locally grown, quality food. Their work, passion, and dedication enrich our tables, our community, and our land.
The Southern Forests region is a unique powerhouse in Australia’s agricultural landscape. These farms and orchards contribute more than scenic beauty; they deliver substantial impacts across the state and country. Consider this: our region supplies over 70% of Australia’s avocados during summer, and half of Western Australia's apples. We’re also proud to produce 90% of the state's potatoes between January and March, and 40% year-round, as well as 90% of the state’s broccoli. And, of course, our region is renowned for its black truffles, contributing 85% of the Southern Hemisphere's production.
These statistics aren't just figures; they reflect the heart of our region and the hard work of the people here. Each harvest and every product bears witness to the strength and resilience of our farmers, who are steadfast even in the face of challenges.
