The Sunshine Coast Regional Food Directory, established in 2005 by Petra Hughes serves as a comprehensive listing of local food and beverage producers in the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas. Its primary goal was to raise awareness about the region’s food industries and facilitate easier access for food enthusiasts, retailers, and chefs seeking Sunshine Coast-produced goods.
Recently, Petra entrusted the ongoing management and development of the directory to the Food & Agribusiness Network. This transition aims to ensure the continuous enhancement and maintenance of the directory, aspiring to elevate it into the foremost regional food and produce guide for the Sunshine Coast and its surrounding regions.
Becoming a member of The Food & Agribusiness Network & The Sunshine Coast Regional Food Directory offers numerous advantages. It presents an effective platform to promote your brand or product, connecting with consumers and guiding them to your location. If you are a food grower, producer, or processor in the Sunshine Coast and Surrounds and are not yet listed in the directory but should be, please reach out to us via email, and we will promptly rectify this oversight!
