Trevor-Perkins and the owner of String and Salt preparing meat Heart of Smith StreetLocated in the heart of Smith Street, String and Salt was founded by husband and wife team Dave and Michelle Cann in 2014, and over the years the business has grown into a brand that is highly regarded in the West Gippsland region. "We wanted to bring brands and products to Baw Baw that reflected our love of home, food, good design and sharing with friends and family." String & Salt offers tasteful, modern homewares, and a tantalising range of quality spices, herbs and original blends from their brand, Spice Oddity. The evocative aroma of spices ignites your senses as you browse the store, with a rainbow of coloured powders in apothecary style jars lining the shelves from floor to ceiling. Friendly staff will greet you and carefully weigh and package whatever you need to complement your home-cooking. Among the homewares range you'll find gorgeous mugs and teapots, pizza paddles, cheese boards, quality knives, stylish aprons, cast iron pots, and more - everything you need for vibrant entertaining, and beautifying your kitchen.

The workshops are perfect for anyone wanting to learn, have fun and experience good food. Culinary experiencesSome of the biggest culinary experiences on offer include The Big Pig Weekend - a two-day masterclass dedicated to all things nose-to-tail butchery, and the Mushroom Foragers Tour, which takes participants on a tour of West Gippsland's farms and forest plantations to hunt for safe, wild edible mushrooms and weeds before enjoying a foraged meal teamed with a glass of wine. "Our classes are mostly focused on grass roots and traditional cooking skills. It's honest food using good produce in a fun, inviting atmosphere." Alongside the retail store and cooking school you'll also find String & Salt's premier kitchen showroom which is home to an array of quality kitchen and laundry appliances and fireplaces set to inspire and complement any home.
