STOP PRESS!!!

At the recent Sydney Royal Fine Food Show, Maureen's onion caraway jam was awarded a SILVER MEDAL There were 59 entries in Class: 7  Pickles, Mustards, Jams & Chutneys, with 4 Silver awards and 6 Bronze awards being given. 


Maureen is a very creative cook and this is great recognition of an innovative recipe.

 

We now have an outlet IN Grafton. It's taken a while, but as of December 12,

Farmer Lou's in Pound Street will have a range of popular products including

the award winning onion caraway jam, plus some of the really popular hampers.

 

2009

 

GREAT NEWS !!

 

We've finally cracked the Brisbane market.  'Fine Fruit on James' and 'The New Farm Deli' have taken us on, with hopefully more to come. Check the Retail Outlet page for details, and watch this space !!


The  Summerland  Olive  Festival  last year was called off due to weather

damage to the crops. This was a real blow for the growers, and all those

who enjoyed the day out.  We were especially disappointed as we had a

lot of fun there the previous year. It looks as though the Olive Festival won't

be on in 2009 either. That's a great shame as it was a great day out and very

popular, with a tour of the Mongogarie olive groves, a feature.

 

Casino's Beef week was great last year. Being called off lin 2007 seemed

to give our Beef Week a renewed impetus and enthusiasm, that brought it

back bigger and better than ever. The weather didn't help, but all events

were enthusiastically supported, even to the Sydney Morning Herald's

'Column 8' sending up their representative, resulting in the promise of a

whole party coming up this year.  They won't be disappointed. There are

lots of new attractions in the pipeline.


It's always encouraging to have people come looking for you, as a

result of previous  purchases. Finding new people to taste and

purchase, and just having the opportunity  to talk about food, really

makes the time fly. We are looking forward to returning to Grafton

for Grafton Regional Gallery Winter Solstice Art & Food

Market in June, and the TAFE Market on Jacaranda Saturday,

in November.

 

We now have Essential Ingredients  in Coffs Harbour as a new outlet. 

This deli in the main street has an extraordinary range of fine foods

from around Australia,  and the world.

We look forward to the Sawtell Chilli festival to further promote this

outlet.

 

So, what's coming up for us in 'market world'?

We are now looking forward to 2009.  Due to cicumstances, we didn't

make it to any of the Lismore Car Boot markets we were aiming for,

but the Casino Village RV Resort  final market for 2008 was a good

one: congratulations to Dawn & David for a job well done.

 

The surprise market for us was the Italian Festival at the Italo-

Australian Club in Lismore in November. As you would expect, the

theme was food, so we had a great day out, and are looking to

a bigger and 'foodier' event next year.

 

There will be market updates in the new year, but expect to see us at

  • Sawtell Chilli Festival
  • Grafton Regional Gallery
  • Beef week
  • Northern Rivers Italian festival
  • as many Casino Village RV Resort markets as we can make.
