Christmas 'In The Bag' - supporting artisan producers and Aussie farming families

Food industry leaders Tawnya Bahr and Lucy Allon from Straight To The Source have tasted their way through hundreds of offerings to curate a premium gift of small-batch artisan products made fresh and wrapped beautifully in a durable market bag in time for Christmas delivery.  This way people can plan ahead and give a Straight To The Source Christmas ‘In The Bag’ gift to family, friends, clients, staff or colleagues and in doing so, support local producers and Aussie farming families.

Straight To The Source co-founder and chef Tawnya Bahr says, “This most certainly isn’t a run-of-the-mill hamper. We have carefully selected every product and curated it to showcase seasonality, sustainability, traditional craftsmanship and innovation. It’s our hope that every person who receives this gift bag filled to the brim with handcrafted products will be surprised and delighted by the variety and quality.”

Australian farmers have had another tough year, so Bahr and Allon are showing their support by donating a percentage of sales to Drought Angels, an organisation dedicated to supporting farming families that are impacted by natural disasters such as drought, fire, flood and mouse plagues. 

As an extra bonus, every gift bag includes a card with a QR code linking to all of the producers on the Straight To The Source online directory who have posted Christmas recipes and promotions. This way people who love the products will be able to connect directly with the producers, learn their stories and get lots of ideas about how to use the products.

The bags are $245 each and strictly limited release - once they’ve sold out, there won’t be any more available. Available to pre-order now, all of the products are being made fresh in small batches and the bags will be shipped nationally, or ready for collection from Sydney, from December 6th. Australia-wide shipping is available. Shipping costs are additional and calculated at checkout.
