The highly anticipated Northern Rivers Food Harvest Food Trail is coming up this weekend.
The Harvest Food Trail covers all aspects of the food industry across the Northern Rivers, from Husk Distillers in Tumbulgum down to Hotel Illawong in Evans Head and is a highlight of the annual foodie calendar.
Northern Rivers Food executive officer Anne Briggs said part of enjoying food was knowing the story.
“The 2021 Harvest Food Trail aims to connect people with authentic food and beverage experiences, where you can meet the makers and immerse yourself in the whole food experience, Ms Briggs said.
“It is a brilliant way to meet the people behind the food with a selection of inspiring Northern Rivers farms, manufacturers, restaurants, shopfronts, distilleries, breweries and outlets across the region.
