proudly distributing quality foods throughout regional NSW, Sydney and the ACT

A good palate is a blessing and a curse. In an era of fast food and multinational mediocrity, really good food can seem hard to find.

We at Gershgoods love food. We love to eat and are proud and privileged as distributors to earn our living  tasting, and sharing our tastes, with our customers and friends.

Our suppliers are the makers and growers of the finest food products, the artisans of the oven, our Australian culinary heroes. We work with them, and they entrust us with the responsibility of maintaining their warehousing, sales, delivery and customer relations - so we become the distribution arm of their business. This allows them the time to make what they make so well, and to make more, so that we can all share their triumphs, and devour the fruits of their labour.

Our customers are select delicatessens and new food stores, independent grocers and corner general stores, quality butchers, fruiterers and fishmongers, health food stores and organic shops, discerning hotels, restaurants and caterers. Our customers are the retailers at the coal-face of the food industry, and those who understand the demands of those with discerning tastes, those that understand that food is so much more than just sustenance.

From grower to maker to distributor, and from retailer to the customer at the counter, we are all bound by a simple love of truly good food. Each of these links in the Australian fine food chain are important to us. Our relationships and understanding of the needs of our customers, suppliers and the consumer means we are better equipped to make the right choices and anticipate market trends and demand.

We understand the humanness of business, the individuality of enterprise and the stories that are attached to the growing, making, selling and eating of food. Like a meal shared with friends and family, these stories are almost as enjoyable as the food itself. Through them we feel connected and a part of the magic, keeping us passionate about each new taste, each new product range, and each new sale. This is our business, and we love to enjoy it. We hope you will also enjoy dealing with us.
