On January 15, 2024 we celebrate 28 years of doing business online, beginning as an ISP in 1996.  By 2008 the WWW matured enough to gain acceptance throughout the world as a really useful medium and we could get back to doing what we wanted to do with the WWW in the first place. 

This website was created to encourage like minded people to have ready access to ingredients that are native to Australia and combines our love of cooking with extensive retail and marketing experience.

This is our current list of the bush food ingredients we have managed to gather from around Australia.  Some are commercially grown and some are wild harvested.  Our growers and collectors are both indigenous and non indigenous.  Our mission is to cross the great divide for the betterment of ALL Australians.

To navigate this website simply select the ingredient from the menu above and the range of products we have containing that ingredient will display on the right.

Since 2008 our objective has been to encourage the inclusion of bush foods in your every day diet.  

We love eating good food and we reckon the best can be found in our kitchen :-)

The key ingredient in our businesses has always been service so if our shop says we have an item in stock, we do and we will despatch the same day wherever possible.

WHOLESALE ENQUIRIES:

We offer bulk pricing with our per kg prices providing the best indication of what we can do for orders less than $500. 

The popularity of bush food ingredients has grown enormously since we began in 2008 so now our prices are set upon the receipt of each shipment.

Should you require a larger quantity of a particular ingredient than what we have in stock please email us with your requirements and we can let you know price and availability.

Leaf based ingredients are generally harvested and dried on demand to ensure you have the freshest possible so if you need more than what we can supply today then there could be a couple weeks delay.

Stock of seasonal ingredients is generally pretty good so long as the harvest has been bountiful and that is very much weather dependent - too little rain or too much.

FEEDBACK

Thanks for the opportunity to review your amazing products. Unfortunately, I can’t because I gave the all away as Xmas gifts. However, I am getting very excited reviews from the recipients.

You guys are heroes, you responded so well to my late orders and got them in time for me to distribute my Xmas gifts.

I will be spoiling myself soon and ordering some for myself in the near future.
