There aren’t many things a foodie loves more than that first taste or sip of something brand-new, and quickly having it become a kitchen must-have. What could be better? Perhaps meeting the makers behind your new favourite and hearing the stories, passion, and hard work that have gone into creating something so special.
Well, this October, we anticipate a whole world of discovery taking place at our Brisbane Show from 23–25 October, as we unveil our Moreton Bay Pavilion.
Only a stone’s throw from Brisbane, Moreton Bay is home to a thriving community of food and beverage producers creating some seriously delicious local flavours. And this year, we’re bringing them together under one roof.
We’re talking homemade preserves, locally grown berries, craft beer, small-batch spirits, and plenty of snacks you’ll probably end up eating before you even make it home.
Here’s a little taste of who you’ll meet…
Bask & Co.
It all started with one homemade granola recipe. Fast-forward to today, and Janessa Rutter’s Bask & Co. has grown into a nationally stocked range of gluten-free favourites.
Alongside being gluten-free, the range is also plant-based and made without refined sugar, with everything from their signature granola to porridge and Bikkies to get your hands on.
Even better? The entire range is endorsed by Coeliac Australia, so our gluten-free foodies can snack away!
Hip Hops Brewers
Fancy a cold one? You’ll want to make a stop at Hip Hops Brewers.
Based in Brendale, the team is bringing a taste of Moreton Bay’s craft beer scene to the show with a line-up of locally brewed beers. Stop by, have a chat, and you might just find a new favourite for the fridge.
Joyous Jams
If your morning toast deserves better, Joyous Jams might have the answer.
Sarah and David Carmichael handcraft their preserves in small batches in Elimbah using locally grown produce. Their range includes jams, marmalades, relishes, and chutneys, with plenty of nostalgic flavours that’ll remind you of something grandma would make.
Kakadu Organics
Kakadu Organics is an Aboriginal-owned, female-led business putting incredible native Australian ingredients in the spotlight.
Working with wild-harvested native foods and botanicals, the business has a strong focus on supporting First Nations women and communities across Australia. Make sure you stop by to learn more about the ingredients and stories behind the range.
Mallory’s Jerky
Forget boring jerky. Lory and Malcolm Sandilands are doing things a little differently at Mallory’s Jerky.
Their award-winning jerky is handcrafted using 100% Australian grass-fed meat, with flavours ranging from the classics to Butter Chicken. You’ll even find kangaroo in the mix!
The hardest part? Deciding which bag is making it home unopened.
My Berries
My Berries began after Allison and Stuart McGruddy noticed something that didn’t sit right with them: perfectly good Australian berries were being rejected simply because they didn’t meet supermarket specifications.
So, they decided to do something about it.
Today, the family business works with Australian growers to give surplus fruit another life through frozen and freeze-dried berry products. It’s a delicious way to help reduce food waste, and we’re very much here for it.
Pachamama Regen
Good food starts with healthy soil, and Pachamama Regen is bringing that philosophy straight to your plate.
Michael Fingland and the team are all about food that’s good for your gut, with a range including kimchi, raw and hot honey, and gut tonics. Stop by their stand to taste the range and discover the connection between healthy soil and a happier gut.
Peninsula Distilling
If gin is more your speed, Peninsula Distilling should be firmly on your list.
This small-batch micro distillery calls the Redcliffe Peninsula home and sources ingredients from local suppliers wherever possible. Their connection to the area even makes its way onto the bottle, with names including Humpybong Gin and Hornibrook Vodka.
We have a feeling Humpybong Gin might be worth trying for the name alone!
Rosie's European Kitchen
A little taste of Europe is also making its way to the pavilion thanks to Rosa Indelicato and Rosie’s European Kitchen.
Stop by, meet Rosa, and see what European-inspired goodies she’s bringing along to Brisbane 2026.
Temple of Juniper
And yes, there’s more gin.
Husband-and-wife team Erin and Charles King are behind Temple of Juniper, creating handcrafted spirits inspired by the flavours and hospitality of the Middle East.
Their gins put a unique spin on the classic spirit, with Middle Eastern botanicals and spices at their heart. Gin lovers, you know where to go.
