That’s a wrap on series one of the Behind the Farmgate podcast. If it’s grown, bred or raised entirely on the Peninsula, it’s easy to identify with the Mornington Peninsula Produce brand, and this podcast wants to celebrate that. 

We will uncover the stories from behind the farm gates, and help you; the eaters and the foodies learn about the origin of your food: where it’s grown, who grows it and when it’s in season. ‘Behind the Farm Gate’ is jam-packed with insights and local knowledge on what makes the Mornington Peninsula a truly amazing food bowl; giving you the confidence to support local, either buying direct at farm gates or through local markets and retailers on the Mornington Peninsula and further afield.
