On farm classes
See that? That farm stall is a dream. An idea tossed around for years before it became real. A farm stall for a farm bought and paid for by my great great grandfather (William) who worked it for years for a wealthy landowner called David Berry, paid his rent […]
Some years don't go as planned. I have a friend who says she barely holds it together through the odd number years but all good things happen in the evens. Some years might be punctuated with illness, or just pass in a blur of tiredness, and you might not really […]
Ad and I set up our first outdoor market stall on Saturday in Kiama. I've held off doing outdoor markets 'til now – I was nervous about all that bikkie stock going to waste if we were washed out. But we're closer to online sales now (coming soon, have […]
Oh HELLO! I missed you! We were offline over here for quite a while and then when the Telstra line was finally replaced and we got back online, I forgot how to blog. It felt a bit indulgent, like there was work to be done and I was messing […]

I took my little biscuit company to my first market on Saturday. And it was AWESOME. SO much fun. I've never thought about myself as a salesperson, and I still don't think I am. But damn I sold some biscuits! I sold out of the most popular bikkies by about […]
