Inspired by the Barossa’s culinary pedigree, a fresh crop of talented and energetic food producers are on the scene.
Each week we meet a new producer and find out more about their history, produce and importantly how best to enjoy it!
Gully Gardens
The Steicke’s beautiful 32 acre property has been in their family for fifty years. Just outside of Angaston, it is a traditional mixed farm, with eight acres devoted to fruit orchards, the source of Gully Gardens’ dried fruit and natural confectionary.
Rick and Rosemary sold all their fruit to large companies for many years but in 2006, as market changes occurred, they began to produce their own dried fruits. In the same year, they also opened the Farm Shop offering their dried and fresh fruit. As their popularity increased, they added new lines, all produced on their Gully Gardens property.
The colourful line-up includes all manner of dried fruit, sugar-free confectionery, chocolate and yoghurt dipped dried fruit and fruit logs. They also offer non-sulphured dried fruit for those with dietary requirements.
The Steickes continue to source fruit from their own orchards, hand picked, hand cut, dried and packaged on site, maintaining a treasured Barossa tradition.
