Oberon has a new ‘Field to Forest’ Festival in April, and our very own Diego Bonetto is in the heart of the action.
A Feast of Weeds
Diego Bonetto is creating Wildfood Store, a marketplace for the by-product of farming: weeds. This sounds good, forward thinking and inventive, but the common thread that keeps surfacing is that people do not know what to do with them.
Talking up weeds to farmers: can you really sell that?
Mid Western Foragers Training Workshop
Would you like to learn how to earn cash providing wild edible weeds for the restaurant and catering market in the city? Wild food expert Diego Bonetto is running a workshop for people in the Mudgee region interested in taking part in a pilot program that will harvest, package and deliver wild foods to Sydney chefs.
