The Noosa food scene is renowned for fresh, local produce and world-class chefs who bring it from the paddock to your plate... But the lesser-known secrets of farm gates and producers is what the Cooloola Farmers Trail is all about and we take you for a wander through what to expect.
This self-drive trail is the perfect day out in the Noosa Country.
The first thing you should know about this cluster of producers in the Noosa region is they are recognised as a Slow Food community. They believe everyone has the right to good, clean and fair food and this slow food community is part of a bigger movement across the world making that happen. They believe we can contribute to changing the world, starting from the way food is produced and consumed.
Slow Food is a global, grassroots organisation with supporters in 150 countries around the world who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment. Slow Food Noosa launched the first Snail of Approval program in 2017 with the aim to inspire producers, chefs, restaurant owners and food outlets.
