Thanks for your support
Saying 2020 has been a challenge is a bit of an understatement. COVID-19 has thrown many a curveball and we are so grateful for the support of our local community. It has provided us with the encouragement to continue to adapt and change our business to the current and changing restrictions - continuing to promote our regions fantastic local produce and get creative in how we can bring it to you. We look forward to sharing some of these stories with you in our new newsletter format.

Locals supporting locals
Supporting local producers and suppliers has always been at the heart of the Food Store ethos - taking the seasons best local produce and turning it into meals for everyone to enjoy. We are always looking for new ingredients to use in our dishes, to join the produce on our shelves and chalk up on our regional 'blackboard of fame'.
From apples and eggs to tomatoes and hazelnuts, our menus are dotted with goodies from across the the region. Dining with us is tasting the Goulburn Valley - and we wouldn't want it any other way.
One challenge we faced with new COVID restrictions was how to create a comparable experience for you at home.
Teller take-away, grab and go, and heat & eat options, saw us trade through the complete closure of dining in. These menus now sit parallel to dine in - as an ongoing option.
We continue to seek new ways to use local products and are currently working of a range of Food Store branded produce - we welcome your input in helping us shape our offering, and giving you more of the good stuff.
If you have 5 minutes to complete a short survey to assist in developing our range we would be most grateful https://thetellercollective.typeform.com/to/ESteVF6l it might even earn you a $20 voucher for the Food Store.
Bringing the cellar door to your door...
Sometimes in order to 'think outside the box' you need to think INSIDE the box! The Goulburn Valley really is home to some fantastic cellar doors - including Tallis Wine, Longleat and Wine By Sam - and our friends at Echuca Distillery are just down the road. With many of the new COVID restrictions in places, popping out to you local cellar door for a tasting has been a challenge.
It was a joy to collaborate with these businesses recently curating a special at home wine tasting and gin & tonic set matched with hand picked Victorian artisanal cheeses. Ingrid even had the pleasure of delivering a guided tasting with a small group of customers via Zoom.
We look forward to putting together another of these selections very soon - in addition to local wines, the next selection might have something to do with CRAFT BEER, and we'll be spilling the details in one of our future newsletters. If you or your social club are interested in joining us for an online guided tasting with our next pack - just shoot us an email and we'll get you sorted.
