How good were sweet-tangy JAZZ™ apples at the Little Food Festival? Well, the growers at Montague Farms are now trialling a new home-compostable sticker on JAZZ™ apples, packed at their innovative Narre Warren North facility.

Keep an eye out at your local grocer, mostly across VIC & NSW. If you spot the green-outlined sticker - grab, snack and compost!

The growers would love your feedback.

Wow! Can you believe it's been a week since ?

There were so many great highlights, from hanging out with our friends Costa Georgiadis Official, Fruit Nerd Thanh, Mandy Hall and Nick Reece, dancing with Junkyard Beats, trying out lots of new foods and learning about our food system.

Thanks to everyone who came down to Fed Square and joined in on the foodie fun, we hope to see you next year!

And a special thanks to our founding partners Monash Education and Fed Square, event partners AIA Vitality Australia, the Gandel Foundation, What's On Melbourne and City of Melbourne Food City, and our production partners Perfect Events Group, Good & Proper and Currie Communications for helping us bring to life!
