Advantage SA’s Buy South Australian campaign is a proud supporter of the all new Foodland SA Gourmet Goodie Bag, available exclusively at the 2011 Royal Adelaide Show.

Containing a selection of premium South Australian products and gourmet treats, the Foodland SA Gourmet Goodie Bag showcases and supports local producers.

The brainchild of Sam Tucker, Managing Director of Tucker’s Natural and Russell Markham, Chief Executive of Foodland SA, the showbag is designed to introduce some of South Australia’s finest products to the public.

Sam Tucker is excited to be working with Foodland SA and Buy SA on the Gourmet Goodie Bag.

“It is such an important initiative that provides an opportunity for smaller brands to work collaboratively with larger producers in order to achieve a greater awareness of the food industry here in South Australia,” Mr Tucker said,

“We also hope that the products and brands featured in the show bag are at the top of the shopping list for all SA consumers.”

Russell Markham is equally thrilled for Foodland SA to be a part of this initiative.

“Foodland is delighted to be the major sponsor of the first ever SA Gourmet Goodie Bag, only available in the showbag hall at this year's Royal Adelaide Show,” Russell said.  

“Foodland SA stores are South Australian owned and operated so as "true locals" we stock those SA brands you can't always find in other supermarkets. We are aware of the importance of this to the local SA economy and we will continue to support South Australian companies that grow and manufacture food in our State.” 

The Goodie Bag combines South Australia’s finest gourmet brands into one amazing showbag. The showbag contains a combination of products and incredible coupon offers, redeemable at your local Foodland and IGA store, from innovative local producers such as Tucker's Natural, Spring Gully Foods, Ollo, San Remo, Maggie Beer, Perryman’s, Beerenberg, Mitani, Lucia's Fine Foods, B.-d. Farm Paris Creek, Bellis, Kytons Bakery, Nippy's, The Bagel Boys, Pendleton Fine Foods and Foodland.

The special coupon offers from Foodland will save Gourmet Goodie Bag holders $10.00 on their total grocery bill whilst also offering savings on some of our other great South Aussie brands. 

The Gourmet Goodie Bag will be available in two value packed sizes.  A “gourmet treat” showbag for $15 with over $60 worth of retail value, and “the full indulgence” showbag for $30 with over $85 worth of retail value.  For more information visit our facebook page www.facebook.com/gourmetgoodiebag.

Numbers are strictly limited so make sure you get to the show bag hall, to show your support for local producers, and secure your Gourmet Goodie Bag before they are sold out!   

Supported by the Government of South Australia, and currently represented by culinary icon Maggie Beer, the Buy SA campaign encourages South Australian consumers to support local producers, growers and manufacturers by purchasing products made in South Australia.

It urges consumers to stop and think before they purchase. The campaign communicates the message that buying local feeds the State economy, creates more jobs and is a healthier option for all South Australians.

The Buy SA logo, along with the Buy South Australian website makes it easy for consumers to learn where and how to buy South Australian products.

Don’t miss your chance to get your hands on this bag full of wonderful South Australian products and gourmet treats!

Buy the way…Buy SA!
