The Producers in Launceston: Massimo Mele (Grains of Silo) - nurture, highlight and champion

For the second episode of The Producers in Launceston, we chat to Massimo Mele, a local chef and restaurateur who has made it a mission to nurture, highlight and champion local farmers and the produce they grow, make and coax into being. We talk about his transformation from a chef who ticked items off an order sheet for next-day delivery to a collaborator who plans menus months in advance alongside farmers.  The Producers in Launceston is a special series celebrating the farmers and produce of northern Tasmania.  These podcasts are a partnership with AgriCULTURED, a food showcase of this special region. https://www.instagram.com/chefmassimomele/?hl=en https://www.agricultured.com.au Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork
