About a month ago I got a phone call from Australian Traveller magazine telling us that out of 1000 nominations we had made it into the top 100 in their 100 Greatest Gourmet Experiences. We were pretty excited at that point. I was mostly excited that they wanted some of my photos to use in the magazine.
Last night there was a function in Sydney to announce the list and out of one hundred we came in at number six!!!!We had a film crew here from the local news yesterday afternoon to announce it to the region.
We are all pretty excited around here today.In a list that included eating Vegemite on toast (57), Stephanie Alexander's Kitchen Garden (11), Jacques Reymond (16) and the ANZAC biscuit (63), we came SIXTH!!
There is a whole page article with great big photos that I took. There are lovely words about us and what we are doing and a rave about this blog.I think it is the first sentence of the article that we are most proud of though, it says;
No-one takes the production of organic yet tasty and interesting foodstuffs more seriously than the folk at Daylesford Organics.That's been part of our mission statement from the beginning and its wonderful to be recognised for this.
Also in the top 10 is Shannon Bennett's Vue De Monde at number eight who we supply our certified organic, heirloom vegies to and our friends at the Holy Goat dairy at number five.
We do what we do because we believe in it and because we love it but it certainly is a great feeling to be recognised for it too.
