At Creative Harvest, we believe that food is never just food. It is a story, a connection, a labor of love, and a community effort. Each dish is carried from paddock to plate by people who know the land and one another. That’s why we are deeply grateful to have Gippsland Jersey as a sponsor of our Creative Harvest Afternoon Tea.
On the day of the event, Gippsland Jersey will supply the cream, milk, and butter used in the freshly baked scones, lovingly prepared by the CWA Drew and Nighthawks. Their rich cream will crown each scone, while their milk will be poured into every cup of tea and coffee shared around the table. These simple moments of generosity and nourishment sit at the heart of what Creative Harvest is all about.
Gippsland Jersey’s Contribution
Gippsland Jersey’s contribution goes far beyond what is served at our event. They are a farmer-owned cooperative made up of 12 Gippsland dairy farming families. Together, they are creating a more sustainable way forward. By pooling their milk supply, they strengthen local farming livelihoods, keep value within the region, and ensure that high-quality, ethically produced dairy remains viable for family farms.
This spirit of collaboration mirrors the values of Creative Harvest. Our event is designed to support local makers, growers, and suppliers who are invested in the long-term health of our community. When you enjoy a scone topped with Gippsland Jersey cream, you are directly supporting local farmers committed to caring for their land, animals, and each other.
The Farming Conversation Calendar
That sense of care is beautifully reflected in Gippsland Jersey’s 2026 Farming Conversation Calendar. This thoughtfully produced calendar shines a light on 12 real Gippsland dairy farming families. It shares heartwarming stories of life on the land alongside stunning photography and seasonal recipes featuring their products.
Importantly, the calendar also supports farmer mental health. It helps open conversations and fosters understanding around the challenges faced by those working in agriculture. It serves as a reminder that behind every bottle of milk is a family, a farm, and a story that deserves to be seen and supported.
A Natural Alignment
This alignment between Creative Harvest and Gippsland Jersey feels entirely natural. Both are rooted in place. We believe in slowing down, gathering together, and valuing the people who make local food systems possible. We understand that sustainability is not just about what we consume but also about how we support one another along the way.
We encourage everyone to explore Gippsland Jersey’s Farming Conversation Calendar and continue supporting local dairy beyond the event. It is available for just $5, with limited stock remaining. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
By choosing Gippsland Jersey, you are choosing flavor, integrity, and community. And by sharing their products at Creative Harvest, we are proud to celebrate a cooperative that embodies the very best of Gippsland.
Join Us for Afternoon Tea
We look forward to raising a cup of tea with you, topped with cream, conversation, and care. Join us for an afternoon filled with warmth and connection. Let’s celebrate the beauty of local food and the stories that come with it.
