A few weeks ago on a visit to the Swan Valley, we saw Maggie Edmonds in the throws of installing a new concept to incorporate with her existing Maggie’s Place, “The Tasting Shed”. From the 15th November it will be open every Sunday. The Tasting Shed is run along the lines of the locavore philosophy. If it is in season, grown in the region and fresh then you will find it at Maggie’s Place located next to Edgecombe Brothers. Her commitemnt to promoting small farmers/producers is well known, as she explains it is often hard to graduate from farm gate to retail. Maggie won the Rural Woman of the Year Award in 2008.
