Visitors can taste the freshest natural produce at the Murray Farm Gate, which features locally sourced fruits, vegetables, and other goods. One notable local producer is Katamatite Garlic, which specializes in organic, chemical-free garlic cultivation using permaculture methods. Additionally, the town hosts garlic planting and seed-saving workshops for children and adults alike.

The region's commitment to sustainability extends beyond food production, as evidenced by the silo artwork in Katamatite and neighboring towns.
