07.01.2022 Something is going to happen in the next few weeks and months that’ll hit us all in the guts, no matter where we live. These fires have hit devastatingly hard -... particularly in Australia’s food bowl. Aussie produce is going to be harder to source and more expensive. Even farms far away from these fires are impacted by highway closures, access to processing plants, animal feed, materials, machines and harvests interruptions (firebans can mean some harvest machinery can’t operate). The grocery stores will have cheaper imported produce so it’s not as if we will all starve or go broke - but our farmers will. This post, like many others comes down to your dollars. Yes - donate! Most of us already have, and more is always needed (see comments for a few charity suggestions). But everyday choices will have a greater & longer lasting impact because soon the news crews will have left town and something else will fill your news feed. So make conscious everyday choices like buying Australian produce. If it’s not at the grocery store - ask the manager why. Create demand. Plan your meals around seasonal produce to buy less imports - a great way to try new recipes & an excuse to catch up with friends over a home cooked meal. Going bush to small towns is great if you’ve got the time in a few months, check out when their local show is on! But if you can’t get to the farms - go to your farmers market! Better still, save them the petrol & traffic jams and jump online to find producers who have their own online shops. Sign up to a local grocery food box. I’m sure you all have other great ideas and let’s hear them! These actions won’t magically fix all the tragic outcomes of these fires but change your actions, create habits of conscious buying and at least we are in with a fighting chance. And while we are talking about everyday choices, be kind. We all have opinions on food, and I think it’s a great thing we all have choice - our own choices. Put opinions aside and be kind...because we all eat from the same Australian food bowl. #buyfromthebush #foodbowl #makeachange See more

03.01.2022 2019 was a big year and we're keen to ramp things up in 2020. While it's not a happy New Year for everyone, we've witnessed the resilience and unbreakable spiri...t of rural Australia first-hand. There are challenges ahead but there will also be awesome days. We're eager to play our part in supporting the mental health of our amazing rural communities.
