As a patron of the delicious. Produce Awards, I am blown away every year by the produce presented for judging. With the ever-increasing amounts of dedicated producers, I cannot wait to see the quality and variety of produce nominated in 2016.

The program sees a new approach to the Awards’ nomination process with the country’s top chefs and restaurateurs asked to nominate the passionate producers they work so closely with. Industry experts will also be asked to nominate the products, producers, chefs, regions, food trails and experiences, stores and designers that contribute to creating Australia’s outstanding food and dining experiences. Nominations will be open until April 22, 2016.
