Hawkesbury Harvest

	The Hawkesbury has been known as the Sydney 's 'food bowl' since the early days of the colony. Farm fresh produce was transported by boat down the Hawkesbury River to the sea and then down the coast to Sydney . To the east, at the mouth of the magnificent Hawkesbury River near Brooklyn … To the south, the Grose River , flowing from the Blue Mountains , meets the Nepean River … To the west, along Bell 's Line of Road to Mt Tomah, Mt Wilson & Mt Irvine To the north, to the fertile valleys of the Colo River ,
The region includes some of the most spectacular countryside in Sydney - farms nestled along scenic drives, rolling green hills lying peacefully below mist shrouded mountains, lush bush landscapes where horses, cattle and alpacas graze amid gum-dotted paddocks. Farms and value added products, such as sheep and alpaca fibre, flowers plants & wine, can be found along the Farm Gate Trail which encompasses the three Shires of Hornsby, Baulkham Hills & Hawkesbury. Hawkesbury Harvest is the 'local' ingredient of Sydney 's dynamic food and wine culture. In 2000, a small group of people, passionate about the Hawkesbury and its agricultural heritage, joined together to promote the fresh, seasonal produce from the farms on Sydney 's doorstep. Today, this community-based organization, HAWKESBURY HARVEST, continues to highlight the range of unique experiences that can be found in the Hawkesbury region and offers a number of products, which include: • Farm Gate Trail, a variety of produce, good and service sold at the Farmgate for your convenience. • Hawkesbury Harvest Farmers and Gourmet Food Market, Yummy fine food present at a relaxed market (no craft) every second Saturday (except January) Industry Development (includes regional branding) and Special Events Agricultural production in the Hornsby, Baulkham Hills and Hawkesbury Council Areas is estimated at $502 million.
