The Mornington Peninsula is one of Victoria’s most productive and diverse food regions, supported by a strong network of local farmers, growers, fishers and artisan producers.
Mornington Peninsula Produce (MPP) is a Shire-led provenance program that celebrates and promotes food and drink grown, bred or raised on the Mornington Peninsula. The MPP trademark provides consumers with confidence about the origin of their food and supports a transparent, resilient and sustainable local food system.
Products carrying the MPP logo are certified to meet strict provenance standards, ensuring they are genuinely local and reflecting the region’s unique landscapes, climate and farming practices.
The program helps:
The Mornington Peninsula’s food system includes a wide range of produce such as fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat, seafood, wine and artisan products. Residents are encouraged to support local producers by buying direct from farm gates, farmers’ markets and local retailers.
Explore local producers and learn more about seasonal food available across the region through the MPP directory.
