Since 2015

Locavore Studio was established in 2015 in a little kitchen studio by Chef and Director Jessie Rae Crossley.

In the early days Locavore dabbled in cooking classes, pop up pastry shops and sourdough, eventually moving into catering.

From 2016, Locavore really made an impression in the Yarra Valley, quickly becoming the preferred catering group to service weddings & wine events. In 2018, Locavore took the plunge into opening the eatery and providore, providing the community with all aspects of food and beverage offering.
