Zest Fest is designed to showcase the emerging and established businesses and enterprises of Beechmont, particularly in the Arts & Crafts, Health & Wellbeing, Local & Regional Food and Music areas. We don’t have a main street or village centre at Beechmont so our 100+ local businesses are largely invisible to visitors and new residents. In amongst these hills and trees though, home based and small to medium enterprises are busy providing goods and services for our community in eco-friendly ways. The Beechmont Business & Enterprise Network (BBEN) supports our local economy and local businesses by organising Zest Fest as well as coordinating the Beechmont Community Website and Business Directory and producing the Beechmont Business & Community Directory. We thank Scenic Rim Regional Council for its ongoing support for BBEN and Zest Fest.

We’ve put together a directory of businesses, enterprises and people who have participated in Zest Fest 2011 so you can continue to purchase their goods and services after Zest and support Beechmont’s local economy.
