Northern Rivers Food (NRF) have announced the return of their annual Harvest Food Trail in 2023 with an expanded offering of a huge 37 locations across the Northern Rivers.
Held over the weekend of May 6–7 this year, with a special taster event on Friday 5th, the NRF Harvest Food Trail is guaranteed to be a very Northern Rivers experience, reflecting on and celebrating the distinctive provenance of our region’s food.
You may choose to visit all the breweries and distilleries across the region, enjoy a weekend of fine dining with chef talks, or select a region and take a deep dive into its foodie scene.
This year NRF ran a new initiative in collaboration with Lismore City Council and Richmond Valley Council. The program allowed the councils to support a number of their local businesses to attend the 2023 Trail, to align with some of the most high-profile food and beverage producers and providers in our region and open their doors to new customers and markets, as well as receiving the industry support and professional development offered by Northern Rivers Food over a one-year period.
Millsy, Northern Rivers Food’s Executive Officer said, ‘Our Harvest Food Trail offers a unique opportunity for you to meet with local farmers, producers, growers and chefs to celebrate and experience all the incredible food and beverages the Northern Rivers has to offer. It includes bespoke farm tours, behind the scenes insights, free tastings, chef workshops, barbecue lunches, and so much more’.
‘Gather your friends and fam to enjoy a leisurely drive and create your own food discovery journey, choosing your own itinerary over the weekend.’
