Passionate Farmers
There wouldn't be any Bush Goddess Foods without the fabulous farmers who lovingly produce all the bounty.
With a desire to minimise food miles and greenhouse gas emissions, and to provide as-fresh-as-possible foods, every effort is made to source products for the national capital from within a 250km radius. At this stage, 85% of all the fruits, vegetables, meats, oils, eggs and dairy products come from farms near Orange, Canowindra, Cootamundra, Young, Harden, Yass, the Southern Highlands and Thirlmere.
