Discover Loddon Valley through the online store

Published on 02 June 2020

A new collaboration aims to put unique, gourmet products from across the Loddon Shire at the fingertips of food lovers and discerning shoppers throughout Australia.

The development of an online store on the Visit Loddon Valley website, in partnership with the Food Purveyor, will give consumers direct access to the high quality artisan produce of the Loddon Shire, all in one place at one time.

The Food Purveyor is a successful gourmet Australian hamper e-store and will manage the store to enable food producers, growers and micro businesses to offer a range of locally produced products

The Food Purveyor specialises in sourcing the finest gourmet Australian-made products to offer an indulgent food experience. The hampers are packed and couriered around Australia, putting even the most niche business within reach of an extensive range of customers. Some of the Food Purveyor’s corporate clients include David Jones and National Bank of Australia.

By boosting exposure and distribution opportunities, the partnership with the Food Purveyor will offer established and emerging food and beverage businesses in Loddon Shire the opportunity to rebound during and after restrictions placed on business as a result of COVID-19.

Loddon Shire Council’s Tourism and Marketing Officer Robyn Vella said “the online store will provide customers throughout Australia with the opportunity to purchase unique and hard-to-find gourmet and artisan products from across the Loddon Region, delivered directly to their door.”

“The establishment of an online store offers a fantastic opportunity for our local producers to promote and develop the great range of innovative and high quality products currently offered in the Loddon Shire. This store will be the perfect way for small businesses to extend their reach and sales as part of the recovery of COVID-19.”

The store will be accessed via the Visit Loddon Valley website www.visitloddonvalley.com.au. Any Loddon Valley business who would like participate in the initiative should contact the Loddon Visitor Information Centre on (03) 5494 1257 or emai loddonvisitorinformation@loddon.vic.gov.au
