Buy local : Truffle Farms of NSW

Buy local, look for truffles from NSW truffle farms. You won't get fresher truffles if you live in Sydney and surrounds.

Have you ever wondered what it means when a restaurant or food vendor advertises that they source their food locally? There are several good reasons for buying local and it has become a very desirable thing to do when promoting food. Apart from the obvious carbon footprint issues we think, when you know the farmer who proudly hands their truffle to you, they just taste better. And yes, because our farm is near Sydney, there is no airplane carbon on our truffles.

As a farmer, I can attest that food from nearby farms genuinely tastes better. There's something special about Renzaglia Wines and Happy Pig Pork; they are more satisfying because we know the people behind them—Sam, Sandy, and Mark at Renzaglia Wines, and Grant and Helen at Happy Pig Pork. We literally share fences with them in O’Connell. At Fish River Truffles, we deeply believe that the provenance of your food matters. It’s not just about the French concept of terroir but also the families, people, and community involved in food production, all of which contribute to its unique character and soul. There are many truffle out there, but none like Fish River Truffle.

This week's post is therefore, all about the truffle farms of NSW, particularly those local to the Sydney area. Some of these farms sell their truffles at Sydney farmer's markets, others within their local communities, and some even offer truffle hunts. In this post, we've gathered a selection of farms we proudly recommend because we know them and have worked with them in various ways. We aim to keep this list updated over time so you can rely on it for the best truffle experience. So, are you ready? Let's dive into our list of truffle farms around Sydney and NSW.
