Celebrating Grafton produce for Gate to Plate
Have you had breakfast yet? If not you’d better grab something to eat because this story will get your taste buds fired up.
The Clarence Valley’s third annual Gate 2 Plate celebrates all food grown locally, and is supported by the not-for-profit Gallery Foundation.

The Clarence Valley is best known for its beautiful beaches and green valleys, but over the last 3 years The Gallery Foundation has been giving everyone the chance to experience our regional cuisine and put our local producers on the menu. From Yamba prawns and Wooli oysters to Brangus beef and Dorrigo spuds, you will finally be able to sample it all!
On Sunday 26th September 2010, the 3rd annual ‘Gate to Plate’ an innovative regional event celebrating Clarence Valley produce, will take place again at the historic Barn located in the grounds of the Grafton Showground.
Showcased through producer stalls and a 6 course degustation lunch, this event offers the opportunity to bring local produce from the gate to your plate – It doesn’t get any fresher than this!
