Scenic Rim Eat Local Month

You’ll need to sit down for this – the full program for SCENIC RIM EAT LOCAL MONTH has been revealed, and it’s bursting with creativity, flavour and authenticity, as well as carrots, cheese, wine, beer and pickles! Tickets are on sale NOW at eatlocalmonth.com.au!

In huge and exciting news, Winter Harvest Festival, the signature event and finale of Scenic Rim Eat Local Month, will now be held in Kalbar as part of a full-weekend of harvest activities celebrated from June 28 to 30 in and around the stunning rural village of Kalbar and beyond!

In its 13^th year and second in the month-long format (there was just too much flavour to fit in a week!), Australia’s most authentic paddock-to-plate, food and farming experience will shine the light on the farmers, growers, producers, artisans, chefs and creators and the spectacular produce of the famous Scenic Rim across all of June.

There’s more than 120 food events from Beaudesert to Beechmont, Kerry to Kalbar, and Mount Alford to Tamborine Mountain including 40 Long Lunches, Degustations and Dinners, 23 Workshops and Classes, 37 Tours and Experiences, 53 Meet the Producer opportunities and 50+ Family Friendly options. The program also includes over 50 new or redesigned events.

As if in a wonderful endorsement by Mother Nature, there’s five full weekends in June this year, meaning more flavour experiences for everyone!

This new weekend features a Friday night Harvest Dinner at The Roadvale Hotel, a Saturday evening Harvest Hoedown featuring the region’s country music star Laura Frank, and of course the day-long Winter Harvest Festival celebrating the joy of harvest produce and featuring the legendary Tractor Pull event. On Sunday 5^th generation famers Valley Pride Produce will welcome foodies to harvest fresh, local, and seasonal goodies on their farm, and The Progressive Paddock will be hosted by Scenic Rim Food Ambassador Ash Martin. Check the full program for more because it’s an epic, flavour-filled way to end Eat Local Month!

The month long celebration begins on the first weekend of June, with a flavour-focus on the stunning towns and villages of Canungra, Tamborine Mountain and Beechmont!

Joining Scenic Rim Eat Local Month for the first time is the Forgotten Sound Farm, with owner Jaimi Pennell sharing the secrets of sustainable and ‘beyond organic’ farming.

Also new to the event is The Loborn Tasting Bar which distils their own modern amaro liqueur and will host tastings, and just nearby, foodies can create their signature spirit at Tamborine Mountain Distillery, now Australia’s most awarded distillery!
