About Maggie Beer
Maggie Beer was originally a Sydney girl, having grown up in the western suburbs where her parents owned a manufacturing business. Leaving school at an early age, Maggie worked in a startling number of jobs searching for her niche, spending many years travelling overseas.
In 1973 Maggie and Colin Beer moved to South Australia's Barossa Valley in 1973 and began farming pheasants on their new property near Nuriootpa that same year. In 1979 Colin was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study game bird breeding in Europe and America and following their return to the Valley, they opened a farm shop to sell the game birds they were breeding.
This humble shop soon grew into the famed Pheasant Farm Restaurant and was destined to win numerous awards, culminating in the Remy Martin Australian Gourmet Traveller National Best Restaurant in 1991.
The establishment of the Pheasant Farm, and the restaurant led to, what was the start of a career that now spans farming, export, food production, and food writing.
There have been lots of awards over the years including: the Remy Martin Cognac/Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant of the year, 1997 Telstra Business Woman of the Year, the Jaguar/Australian Gourmet Traveller Award of excellence in 1999and in 2001 the Food Media Club's Industry Peer Award.
Maggie has published five books including: Maggie's Farm, Maggie's Orchard, Tuscan Cookbook (with Stephanie Alexander), Cooking with Verjuice and Maggie's Table.
