  • Support local jobs by buying Queensland for 14 February
  • Share Queensland products and produce with those you love
  • Make hearts race by cooking up a Queensland storm

It’s bloomin’ easy to make Valentine’s Day a bountiful day for our producers and small businesses by buying Queensland – and we know Queensland’s got the lot.

From beautiful bunches of Queensland-grown flowers and handmade gifts, to cheese, chocolate and wine, there’s no need to go beyond our borders to make hearts sing.

Start with a bouquet of Queensland-grown flowers before serving up a menu of fresh Queensland produce this Valentine’s Day.

Queensland’s global reputation for clean, green and great-tasting produce makes for the perfect menu for a day of romance.

Choosing Queensland products and produce is the perfect path to a romantic Queensland Valentine’s Day.

Quotes attributable to Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner:

“It doesn’t take much imagination to apply our sensational Queensland products and produce to Valentine’s Day, and we have so much to choose from,” he said.

“Whether it is beef from Central Queensland or the Darling Downs, fresh salad greens from the Lockyer Valley, bananas and tropical fruits from Far North Queensland, fresh vegetables from the Wide Bay region, succulent Queensland seafood – there is just so much to love.

“And wherever you are across the State, there’ll be a local florist stocking Queensland flowers.

“If you fancy a tipple with your romantic dinner, there are great-tasting Queensland wines from the Granite Belt and several other regions, while the selection of top-quality cheeses from Queensland dairies is second to none.

“Every choice of Queensland produce or product shows the love to our fishers and farmers, our artisan food creators, our spirit and wine makers, and our dedicated small businesses supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs across the State.

“I hope every Queenslander will show our producers the love on Valentine’s Day and every day.”
