the way it
used to be made…
Fresh. Local. Delicious
Jam, jellies, chutneys, relishes and sauces – made with love by Cecilia ‘CC’ Diaz-Petersen in her Woolooga Farm Kitchen.
Welcome to Woolooga Farm Kitchen – Formerly CC’s Kitchen…
It’s the same product with the same great flavour. Just now, it’s the Woolooga Farm Kitchen journey.
Join us!
Woolooga Farm Kitchen is the exciting evolution of CC’s Kitchen, a foodie-favourite since 2011.
Where CC’s Kitchen began with one woman and her preserves, Woolooga Farm Kitchen is a place and a community, celebrating the people and produce that make every jar and bottle possible.
Led by Cecilia ‘CC’ Diaz-Petersen, Woolooga Farm Kitchen handcrafts a wide range of preserves and condiments using fresh produce from local farmers and the fields surrounding their kitchen.
The Woolooga Farm Kitchen is situated in the heart of Petersens Farm – home to a diverse array of fruit and veg from cottage to gourmet, including Australia’s largest commercial crop of rosellas – the vibrant fruit behind their famous rosella jams, sauces and relishes.
ABOUT WOOLOOGA FARM KITCHEN
our farm kitchen…
Woolooga Farm Kitchen is a producer of a wonderful range of jams, pickles and condiments. By using what begins in the fertile ground of a small Woolooga property, 45km West of Gympie CC is adding to the foodie world with her mouth-watering range of fine foods.
Woolooga Farm Kitchen specialises in rosella products made from rosella fruit grown on the farm. Syrups, jams, dried rosella flowers as well as fresh fruit are available for purchase amongst CC’s vast range direct from the farm, by mail order or from many of the markets and stores that stocks CC’s products.
Born in the Philippines, CC’s passion for food and cooking started at a young age with influences from her mother, grandmothers, uncles and aunties – all excellent home-grown cooks.
In 1987, CC moved to Australia with her parents and two siblings. After almost a decade working as a Real Estate Sales Agent in Sydney and Wide Bay Region, CC decided to chase her dream and launched CC’s Kitchen in early 2011.
A taste of CC’s products takes you back in time – a time before preservatives and artificial flavourings and colourings – when food went straight from the garden to the pot to the plate.
Over the years CC has added countless products, won awards, grown a wonderful team, built a brand new commercial kitchen and of course, in the farmer-and-the-cook love story that saw her become ‘the Rosella Queen’ – met Greg and moved the operation to Petersen’s Farm in Woolooga.
It’s no longer one woman and her kitchen, but a collaborative, truly paddock-to-plate endeavour. With this in mind, 2024 will see the evolution of CC’s Kitchen into Woolooga Farm Kitchen.
The new name not only celebrates the evolution and growth of the business, but honours the place and community that make it possible. ‘Woolooga Farm Kitchen’ proudly represents and strengthens our connection to this beautiful location – not only the fertile fields of Petersen’s Farm, but the other local farmers whose produce we source for our flavour-packed preserves. It celebrates the rich flavours, seasonal variety, and sustainability of our region. It’s the next step of CC and Greg’s vision for visitors, from families to green thumbs and those just in need of some fresh air, to see it as ‘their farm’ to enjoy, and a kitchen to be nurtured by.
Rest assured that CC is still leading the charge here at Woolooga Farm Kitchen and we’re still handcrafting your favourite authentic jams, sauces and chutneys – you’ll even still see some of the old-school CC’s Kitchen labels floating around a little longer.
Nothing has changed at our core – we’re just wearing our heart on our sleeve even more!
