our business started during lockdown, As chefs we found ourselves with a lot of time on our hands. So we put that energy to use.
we were able to start a reasonable veggie garden at home and What began as a simple hobby soon became a passion project, as we immersed ourselves in the art of gardening and preserving.
With an abundance of homegrown produce on our hands (more than what we could eat or give away), we experimented with preserving techniques focusing on fermenting. Our friends and family were our eager taste-testers, providing valuable feedback that fueled our creativity.
Thanks to the generosity of Bernie at Murmungee Basin Produce, we were given the opportunity to cultivate our own market garden, the Victory Patch a 12x25m market garden that when at full capacity holds 420 plants. This was a game-changer for us, allowing us to grow even more of the ingredients we use in our products.
Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. We’re proud to say that all our products are made with 100% Australian-grown produce. While some ingredients, like chillis, aren’t available year-round in Beechworth, we partner with local suppliers like Goldfields Greengrocer to fill the gaps.
We’re also passionate about minimizing our environmental impact. From composting green waste to using reusable, compostable, or recyclable packaging, we’re constantly striving to do better for the planet.
At Edible Alchemy, we’re all about good food and good vibes. Join us in celebrating the flavors of our region, crafted with love and respect for the earth
