Local produce – Gippsland
The lush pastures of West Gippsland support a strong local dairy produce industry that provides much of Melbourne’s milk, as well as milk for the region’s award-winning export cheeses. The same hills are also the grazing ground for pasture-fed beef, lamb and game.
If you’re travelling through Gippsland in the warmer months, you can purchase or pick your own fruit and berries from a number of local produce farms and orchards. Alternatively, you can buy local produce and free-range direct from the farmer at year-round markets throughout Gippsland. Delis and produce stores stock a wide range of local delicacies, including award-winning olive oils and can help you match food produce with local wines.
Seafood is also a centrepiece of Gippsland local produce and can be bought cooked or fresh at the Port Albert and Lakes Entrance co-operatives.
