Peas in a pod – food takes off

I think I may have been to Pod Food only a few times, possibly even only once, before this visit – and that was many years ago. It was good enough back then – but now it is something a whole lot more impressive.

Pod Food is in the heart of the slightly ramshackle gardening and nursery hub of Canberra, Pialligo , adjacent to the burgeoning exercise in urban growth called Canberra Airport – Canberra International Airport, no less. It was always the place you went to get large pots and even larger apples.

The entrance to Pod Food, formerly part of an operating nursery, is the sort of garden I eventually want to have.

Of late it has attracted some serious culinary action, with Pialligo Estate Farmhouse Restaurant, and its associated Smokehouse, going from strength to strength.
