The newly renovated Virginia Horticulture Centre is now open and ready to welcome horticulture-related businesses looking for a modern office base in the heart of Virginia's main street.
Serving as a central hub for the area's primary industry since 1994, the Centre now offers co-workers 24/7 access to a mix of private offices and shared hot desk spaces, tailored to the needs of the local horticulture sector. The Northern Adelaide Plains Food Cluster, an industry-led group based at the Centre, plays a key role in supporting both family-run and large-scale produce businesses as they navigate the complex and evolving world of intensive horticulture and food production.
Providing local access to training, updating growers with the latest information and working to support the sustainability of the industry are among their objectives. Cluster Manager Joe Coluccio says the Northern Adelaide Plains region is responsible for one-third of South Australia's produce and supports a wide range of industries beyond the farm gate.
"From accountants, marketers, service providers and government agencies - everyone contributes to the food production journey," Joe said. "The Centre offers a place where these services can connect with growers and the wider industry."
