Events

2008 Good Food and Wine festival

Getting involved in fresh produce events and activities can be great fun. You can also learn about new varieties, the origins of produce, what's in fashion and new ways of preparing and presenting dishes. Visit an open day at a farm or orchard, pick some strawberries or take a friend to one of the many food shows in your locality. Children love experiencing new things, so if you have a family, why not get them involved too.

There are also lots of special promotional activities organised through grower and other industry groups to highlight fresh seasonal produce. Often you can collect free information from your local greengrocer, enter competitions and be part of a special tasting promotion in the local shopping centre. Here's a list to get you started!


Victorian Retailer of the Year Awards.

The Victorian fruit and vegetable Retailer of the Year awards are organised through the Melbourne Wholesale Fruit, Veg & Flower Markets and are part of an industry program that aims to recognise the importance of local greengrocers and increase fresh produce sales. Retailers are independently mystery shopped through the year to rate performance against criteria such as customer service, communication of product information, product quality, variety, cleanliness, store layout and presentation. Over 650 retailers participate in the program and the Melbourne Markets Credit Service sponsored both the major awards in recognition of the key role that retailers play at the Markets.
