"Paddock to Plate" is our fascinating conversation with the founders of a new food co-op on the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. Have a listen to discover how a disused abattoir has become the centre of an emerging paddock to plate food network. Grant Baker and David Parsons, driving forces behind the co-op discuss how a meat processing co-op will meet local demand and assist producers from the Peninsula to get their top-quality produce onto supermarket shelves and restaurant tables further afield.

Grant and David explain how the BCCM helped the community to explore how a co-op was the right model to work together on their shared vision for an interconnected food supply chain to produce and market the region's trustworthy, ethical, high quality food.
