The people behind Tumbeela Native Bushfoods; Ewa and Warren Jones

Ewa and Warren Jones, being people of passion for good food, found the idea of becoming involved in the establishment of a uniquely Australian cuisine a very exciting one. In 1995, with unquenchable enthusiasm, they began what they readily admit was a hit and miss attempt to grow a range of native food plants in the Adelaide Hills. Tumbeela Native Bushfoods was born!

Since 1996 Tumbeela’s customer base has been wide and diverse, including chefs, restaurants, hotels, food manufacturers, distilleries, cheese wrights, cocktail bars, value-adders, and of course, ‘home chefs’. They have had wide media attention featuring in three TV programs, including Gardening Australia, and countless magazine and newspaper articles.

In 2017 Tumbeela Native Bushfoods was awarded the ‘Delicious’ magazine’s inaugural trophy for ‘The most outstanding Native Food Producer’.

The rest as they say is history.

Unless of course we give world class chef and Master Chef judge, Jock Zonfrillo, the final word, which we often do: “I’m overjoyed there are people like Warren and Ewa out there. What they do is unreal.” (RIP Jock)
