One of the central focuses of the episodes is the Junee Licorice & Chocolate Factory, and owner Neil Druce said he was thrilled to showcase their business.
"We had producers and sounds guys, the whole works, and Fast Ed came along to cook up a beautiful licorice pudding with our product," he said.
"We even showed him how to make the licorice and chocolate, and he made his own freckle."
Mr Druce is passionate about his community and said the focus Junee has received in recent months was beneficial for the town and well-earned.
"We really think it's great, and the team also went to Monte Cristo and the Railway cafe so it showcased a variety of what we have to offer here," he said.
"The boost this gives Junee, all the little things adding up, is a huge help for not just us but the wider region as well."
With certain concerns over tourism bringing the country-town feel down a notch, Mr Druce said the pros will outweigh the cons.
"Everyone loves the country feel of this place, but they also love the festive feel of lots of coffee shops and lots of things to do and bustling streets, so you lose a little but gain a lot," he said.
The episode of Better Homes and Gardens will air mid May, and Junee will feature this Sunday on Postcards.
Outside of Junee, a range of tourist destinations will feature in Sunday's program, one of which is Kimo Estate.
Just 50 minutes out of Wagga, Rebecca Judd travels to the location for a unique farmstay experience alongside all the culinary offerings of Food I Am cooking classes and Coolamon Cheese products.
Sugar Pine Walk will feature as part of the Bago State Forest, followed by a cold beer and pizza at Tumut River Brewing Co.
Postcards' travel guru Brodie Harper gets a taste of nature at Belisi Farm on the outskirts of Wagga, as well as Junee Licorice & Chocolate Factory as she tours the old flour mill dating back to the 1930s.
