"Working with the team from Straight To The Source was a game changer for us!  Being in start-up mode with numerous ideas and opportunities can be very overwhelming.  Having an achievable path-to-market framework that encompassed our business goals has kept us focused.

Pip & Skeet Lawson - Lentil & Wheat Farmers

Pinnaroo Farms SA

“What we are doing with Outback Lamb is a fundamental shift from our skills and experience as farmers. It is very hard to move from doing something you are successful at to doing something entirely new ... I have a vision as to where we will end up, but as to the means by which we get there? Well, that is why I need consultants like Straight To The Source who understand the industry, the processes and the people.”

Fiona Aveyard - Lamb Producer & Farmer

Outback Lamb NSW

“From on stage cooking demonstrations, exhibit tours for chefs highlighting  innovative ingredients, to MC of industry panels, chef Tawnya Bahr has been a supportive industry advisor and partner to Fine Food Australia over many years. Looking forward to what the Straight To The Source team will be doing this year in The Source Kitchen.”

Minnie Constan - Sales Director
