A woman stands in the center of a large greenhouse, surrounded by rows of thriving green plants arranged on raised platforms. She is wearing a blue jacket and looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The greenhouse structure is spacious, with a high, arched ceiling covered in translucent material that lets in soft, natural light. A small dog is visible at her feet, gazing up at her.

About Gourmet Herbs

Jane Vassallo founded Gourmet Herbs in 2003. A fourth-generation farmer, Vassallo inherited her family's love for life on the farm. In the early 1990s, she moved from the lowlands of the Hawkesbury to establish a new farm on higher ground, paving the way for what later became Gourmet Herbs. Originally focused on growing fancy lettuces, Vassallo soon pivoted to meet a niche demand from contemporary Sydney restauranteurs for microherbs and edible flowers.
