The Ferguson Valley’s rolling green, rural hills form aniconic aspect of the Shire of Dardanup identity. For some 150 years at least, the hilly landscape ideal for grazing combined with reliable annual rainfall and a temperate climate, have provided ideal conditions for thriving dairy and beef industries.

Agricultural industries have prospered and have been joined in more recent times by an exciting new food and wine offer. Visitors explore farm gates, cellar doors and local food markets. They delight in meeting the farmers, wine makers and restauranteurs behind award-winning produce, restaurants, bakeries and family-run cafes and show deep appreciation for the region’s homegrown ingredients. And best of all, this region of plenty is easily accessible to Perth day-trippers and overnight guests, located just a two-hour drive south.

Opportunities for expansion in agriculture and associatedfood tourism in the Ferguson Valley are as abundant as the produce.
