A new Melbourne restaurant will feature Bass Coast’s finest produce in their menu to source much of its fare from the Gippsland region. Showcased in Farmer’s Daughters menu with the potential for more Bass Coast producers to be featured as time goes on are:

• Local herbs
• Beer
• Wine

An exciting new venture begins

Bass Coast Shire Council Mayor, Cr Brett Tessari said that the restaurant was an exciting new venture and looks forward to seeing more Bass Coast brands on the menu. "We support anything that helps our local businesses grow, after the incredibly hard year we have just had – this venture is sure to be a welcome boost for some of our local producers.

"Our region is home to some of the country’s best producers, so putting a spotlight on that is a great initiative. We know how great it is, now the rest of the state will as well. I’m sure that this restaurant will become a great advertisement for our region and will encourage people to visit, so they can experience everything we have to offer, first hand."

Passion project for regional Victoria

The restaurant is a passion project of Gippsland’s Food and Beverage Ambassador Alejandro Saravia, to help bring a piece of Regional Victoria to the city.

"Farmer’s Daughters brings a sense of place for everyone that wants to discover Gippsland and I want to help share this vision whilst shining a spotlight on what I believe to be one of the most important farming regions in Australia. Off the back of the devastating bushfires and in the wake of a pandemic, supporting regional Victoria on the road to recovery has never been so important," Mr. Savaria added.
