Experience Nature Group is backing foraged, farmed and small batch Australian brands with the launch of its new online marketplace, Ethically Made.

The virtual store brings together artisans and producers to simplify shopping for ethically made Australian products in one destination.

The online marketplace features a growing collection of products from pantry supplies, natural beauty items, eco-lifestyle to artisan goods.

With an initial focus on products from Experience Nature Group's home, the Southern Highlands, the collection will continue to expand to include the produce of craftsmen and women, growers and manufacturers from across Australia.

Made up of several unique brands (WILDfest, Wild Food Adventures and Highland Harvest Feasts), Experience Nature Group offers nature tourism experiences, with Ethically Made becoming an extension of this.

Founder of Experience Nature Group Amanda Fry said it was important to support local businesses.

"Supporting local is key to Experience Nature Group, and has been since its inception. Our nature tourism business has always been about working with local producers and highlighting their food, wine and products to visitors to the Southern Highlands," she said.

"As an extension to what we do and offer, we've decided to curate an online store to give everyone the opportunity to really back both ethically and Australian made products from around the country."
