From Our Farm to Your Table

Hi, I’m Julia. I’m a mum of two, a fifth-generation Aussie farmer, and the proud founder of Tweed Real Food. If cooking has started to feel like just another task, something you get through instead of enjoy, you're not alone. That's why you're here. That's why this exists.

For more than a century, my family has worked the land. Our story isn’t just about paddocks and produce. It's about rebuilding after fires tore through our farms. It's about standing in ankle-deep mud watching yet another crop drown. It's about driving through smoke, pulling tarps through hail, and planting again after the drought cracked the earth. Farming has pushed us to our edge, and then further but it’s made us who we are. And now, it brings something beautiful to your table.

Tweed Real Food exists to bring you real flavour, made with real ingredients, straight from a real Aussie farm. These products are here to make your life easier and your meals so much tastier. When you cook with our blends, you bring joy back into dinner time. You save time. You feed your family something clean, honest and Australian made. You support local jobs and Aussie farmers, and you do it all while enjoying food that genuinely tastes incredible.

“Feeding people isn’t just about the food. It’s about the effort, the care, the stories behind the ingredients.”
