Our #fignic is fast approaching!

Celebrate Fig Season at our ever-popular biennial, Long Table Fignic with Willabrand Australia in the beautiful grounds of historic Glen Ewin Estate on Saturday 22nd March 2025.

Just a few weeks ago, as a result of the Fruit Fly outbreak in SA, visitors were no longer able to pick and take home their figs this harvest season. Willabrand Australia's orchard falls just within the yellow zone of the outbreak map, restricting the movement of fresh fruit. Willa has managed to work with the Government for a positive outcome, allowing visitors to still enjoy the experience—picking and consuming figs on-site or taking home heat-treated figs. This ensures this year's harvest won't go to waste and the community can continue to enjoy this unique experience and these delicious figs!

If you can’t make it to our event, we still encourage you to visit Willabrand Australia's orchard at Glen Ewin Estate or shop their fig products at potandstill.com.au/

Last week, @slowfoodsouthaustralia brought the fla Last week, @slowfoodsouthaustralia brought the flavours of the Mediterranean to @waiteresearch Food Innovation Lab for @italyinadelaide 2024 Week of Italian Cuisine in the World! 🌿🍽️ With the theme "Mediterranean Diet and Culinary Roots: Health and Tradition", chefs @rosa.matto and @chefkanepollard served up a #zerowaste tasting menu showcasing sustainability and tradition. Slow Food SA leader Tania Paola spoke about the Slow Food movement’s origins in Italy, and its synergy with this year’s theme, given that the preserving of culinary heritage and traditions is the foundation of the movement. Consul Dr. Ernesto Pianelli highlighted the Mediterranean Diet's environmental and health benefits, while @endfoodwasteaus CEO Dr Steven Lapidge shared eye-opening stats on food wastage and their mission to cut it in half by 2030. @_mandyhall explained that 7.7 million tonnes of food per day end up in the rubbish bin and talked about @thegreatunwaste nationwide consumer change campaign End Food Waste recently launched. Rosa and Kane explained the Slow Food concept of nose to tail eating, and each dish was made with sustainable and zero-waste ingredients. It was also great listening to Slow Food member and chef @enrico_sgarbossa_ speak about the zero-waste bread he made with leftover pizza dough. An inspiring afternoon of heritage, innovation, and delicious food! 🐌 #slowfood #slowfoodmovenent #sustainable #goodcleanfair #foodwaste #mediterraneandiet Thanks to Delphine @redharecollective for the lovely photos 📸 @slowfoodaustralia @slowfood_international @foodwithaview_oz
