ORANGE F.O.O.D
I first joined the F.O.O.D group some 20 years ago as a young resident to Orange working in the wine industry. I have continued to be involved at various levels in FOOD and wine during the last 20 years and I have found it extremely rewarding, making many friends and developing many events.It is with great pride that I take the reins this year to guide us forward in 2014, our 23rd year.It was after a trip to Italy where my wife and I came across Mangialonga, an event in Piedmonte walking through vineyards enjoying the local produce with 2500 people, which we brought to Orange some years later as FORAGE with the help of other like-minded people.FORAGE has grown from 350 to 750 people, to this year 1000 people who will come to experience “why we live where we live.” Great produce is turned into delicious country fare by our chefs and cooks, accompanied by wines from the experts who grow the grapes and the winemaker that makes them. All this whilst strolling across the vineyards and paddocks taking in the view and produce from our region, cementing what FOOD week is all about.

Welcome to<br />
WEEK<br />
I first joined the F.O.O.D group some 20 years ago as a<br />
young resident to Orange working in the wine industry.<br />
I have continued to be involved at various levels in<br />
FOOD and wine during the last 20 years and I have<br />
found it extremely rewarding, making many friends and<br />
developing many events.<br />
It is with great pride that I take the reins this year to guide<br />
us forward in 2014, our 23rd year.<br />
It was after a trip to Italy where my wife and I came across<br />
Mangialonga, an event in Piedmonte walking through<br />
vineyards enjoying the local produce with 2500 people,<br />
which we brought to Orange some years later as FORAGE<br />
with the help of other like-minded people.<br />
FORAGE has grown from 350 to 750 people, to this year<br />
1000 people who will come to experience “why we live<br />
where we live.” Great produce is turned into delicious<br />
country fare by our chefs and cooks, accompanied by<br />
wines from the experts who grow the grapes and the<br />
winemaker that makes them. All this whilst strolling<br />
across the vineyards and paddocks taking in the view<br />
and produce from our region, cementing what FOOD<br />
week is all about.<br />
Without the brains, braun, sponsorship, passion and<br />
dedication of many volunteer hours from a few who<br />
dearly believe in what we do and how we do it, FOOD<br />
WEEK would not continue to be such a continued success.<br />
All the committee, producers’, sponsors and residents<br />
of Orange and District get great joy in welcoming you to<br />
where we live and work. Please take time to talk to all<br />
of us about why you have come to Orange FOOD WEEK.<br />
Your support makes it all worthwhile.<br />
Thank you to the regulars to Orange FOOD WEEK from<br />
near and from afar. Your support is always appreciated as<br />
you continue to come and continue to spread the word of<br />
what we do and why we do it. “FOOD WEEK showcases<br />
the region’s food and wine, food producers, wineries,<br />
restaurants, chefs, caterers and cooks.”<br />
Enjoy your time in Orange, meet some locals and come<br />
back time and time again to enjoy what we do.<br />
Warm regards,<br />
