Aussie Businesses: How to Support
After an incredibly difficult year with the grips of the pandemic having a substantial impact on so many businesses, it is important now more than ever to shop local. Supporting Aussie businesses is such an easy and effective way to help those around you during this tough time. Most Australian’s are continuing to try and navigate the peaks and troughs of an unknown future. Here at Hampers With Bite, we are proudly an Australian-owned and operated business and have been for 17 years. We also have the great privilege of being able to work with so many amazing other local businesses and supplies to help make our products possible. We are incredibly lucky in Australia to have such an incredible array of local businesses making tremendous products. If you’re looking for some local Aussie businesses to support, here are some of our favourites.
Chocolatier Australia
Chocolatier is an amazing local manufacturer who makes an absolutely delicious range of chocolate, with love, right here in Australia. We love being able to work with them and continue to stock the products. We have been working with them for a long time and have received nothing but positive feedback on their products.6ft6 Wines
Our wine selection has also been an extremely important aspect of our gourmet gifts. Therefore, we always aim to stock only the best wines in our hampers. This is why we partner with premium Australian producers such as 6ft6 wines. 6ft6 wines are made in Geelong’s Moorabool Valley sub-region only an hour away from the HWB HQ. They are yet again another impeccable Aussie business that we cannot wait to continue working with!
Loving Earth
Loving Earth is an ethically driven local chocolate producer that aims to make a healthy indulgence in a way that is sustainable and eco-friendly. Although they are a small company, all their products are thoughtful and have stunning packaging. A great small business with an even greater product and we adore their dedication to the environment
Human Bean Co.
Human Bean is a sensational Aussie business out of Queensland. They make delicious faba bean-based products grown and picked on home soil. Their products have been a great addition to the Hampers With Bite healthy snack range and are also a big hit in the HWB office. They are not only dedicated to supporting the Australian economy but also giving back as much as possible.

Shopping with Australian-owned businesses keeps money within the local economy, supports local jobs, and helps small makers continue producing quality goods. It is especially valuable during difficult periods when many businesses are navigating uncertainty. Choosing locally made products is a simple, everyday way to make a positive difference in your community.
Is Hampers With Bite an Australian-owned business?Yes, Hampers With Bite is a proudly Australian-owned and operated, family-run business Melbourne-founded with more than twenty years of experience, now based in Geelong, Victoria. We work closely with local suppliers and producers to make our gourmet hampers possible. Buying from us also supports the many Australian makers whose products we stock.
Which Australian producers feature in Hampers With Bite hampers?Our hampers include products from respected local makers such as Chocolatier Australia, who craft their chocolate here in Australia, and 6ft6 Wines, produced in the Moorabool Valley near Geelong. We also stock items from Loving Earth, an ethically driven local chocolate producer focused on sustainability. We choose partners whose quality and values align with our own.
What are easy ways to shop local in Australia?You can shop local by choosing Australian-made products at the supermarket, buying directly from local markets, and supporting small businesses online. Gifting is another simple option, as many gift hampers are filled with Australian-made gourmet goods. Sharing and recommending local businesses to friends and family also helps them grow.
Are the products in your hampers made in Australia?Many of the items in our hampers are sourced from Australian producers, including chocolates, wines and gourmet treats, though some premium items are imported. As a 100% Australian owned and operated business, we prioritise working with local suppliers wherever possible because we believe in supporting the community that supports us.
Why choose a gourmet hamper over a generic gift?A gourmet hamper lets you support multiple local makers in a single gift, while giving the recipient a selection of quality treats to enjoy. It feels more considered than an off-the-shelf present and can be personalised with a free gift card. It is a thoughtful choice for birthdays, thank you gifts, and corporate occasions alike.
Can I have an Australian-made hamper delivered across the country?Yes, our hampers can be sent to recipients around Australia, making it easy to share local products with friends, family or clients no matter where they live. We offer fast Australia-wide delivery with Standard and Express options. This means you can support Australian businesses and still reach loved ones interstate.
How does buying a hamper help small local makers?When you buy a hamper, you are supporting every producer whose goods are included, from chocolatiers to winemakers. This helps small businesses keep their products on shelves and continue creating. By choosing a hamper filled with local goods, your one purchase benefits several Australian makers at once.
