Brand SA’s week-long showcase of all things South Aussie
If you’ve been scrolling through the world’s favourite jumble sale, Temu, and been distracted by some of the outlandish crap winding up in landfill, Buy SA Week is a fabulous time to think local, chose quality and support people right here in your home state.
Who really needs a plush pig trotter or an adjustable ferret harness anyway?
This week’s campaign, launched by Brand SA is a celebration of all things local and an opportunity for SA businesses to leverage the Buy SA. For SA. campaign. Local businesses and consumers are encouraged to join the week-long showcase of events and activities, and get behind the state brand which aims to keep money in our state, reduce environmental impacts and strengthen SA’s reputation for quality goods, services, experiences and produce, locally, nationally and internationally.
South Australian businesses are also encouraged to apply to use the State Brand to help consumers identify what’s local so they can show their support, and ensure they are investing in the best.
Taste the SA goodness for yourself
So from August 12-18, you can taste test some of South Australia’s most loved local produce including Balfour’s, Barossa Fine Foods, Continental Taralli Biscuits, Jonny’s Popcorn (oh that smell 🍿), Kytons, Maggi Beer, Mischief Brew, Misty’s Salted Caramel, Najobe, Pendleton Olive Estate, Pure Origins, Spring Gully, Tuckers Natural, Vilis and Wintulichs, at various locations across Adelaide. And for us out-of-towners, Mr Fruchoc, Larry Lamington and all of SA’s favourites will be at Victor Harbor Central (Tuesday August 13) and Mt Barker Central on Wednesday. There’ll also be giveaways and a spinning wheel!
A number of Foodland stores across Adelaide will be offering in-store supermarket sampling across the week, as well as Barossa Co-op on Thursday August 15 from 12pm-4pm.
