Western Australians are encouraged to get behind the State's food and beverage producers this October by eating, drinking and dining local for Buy West Eat Best month.
Buy West Eat Best provides customers with a trusted labelling program to identify food and beverages that are grown, farmed, fished, processed, prepared and served right here in WA.
A series of local food and beverage events, in-store retail promotions and member-driven marketing campaigns will take place this month to raise awareness oflocally grown and sourced produce.
Now in its 17th year, Buy West Eat Best is the nation's longest-running State-of-origin food and beverage labelling program.
New independent research commissioned by Buy West Eat Best has revealed program recognition has reached its highest level, with 81 per cent of WA consumers aware of the program and three out of four actively looking for the logo when shopping.
The Cook Government supports the Buy West Eat Best program and key initiatives, including the premier trade show Meet the Buyer, through the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.

As stated by Agriculture and Food and Fisheries Minister Jackie Jarvis:
"Buy West Eat Best month in 2025 is championing seasonal produce, ranging from fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs to local seafood and meat.
"I encourage the WA community to make a conscious effort to look for local produce when choosing groceries or places to dine.
"The Buy West Eat Best program provides an important way for consumers to support WA farmers, food producers, processors, retailers and foodservice businesses.
"Every time you buy local you are supporting local growers and producers and directly contributing to the Western Australian economy.
"Visit your local farmers' market or look out for the distinctive bite mark logo when shopping at the supermarket, and when dining out check the menu for dishes that promote Western Australian ingredients."
