16.01.2022 The tired tractors & farmers of Cudgen... Summer Edition. Frequently referred to as "the busy season"- As farmers here in Cudgen our summers are long, hot, unforgiving to public holidays, wives & children. Basically we are going harder than Santa Claus from about October through until March. That bloke gets some serious credit for just ONE day! ... While this industrious & grinding time of never ending days all rolled into one isn't over yet, we are well into our planting season to ensure we have enough sweet potatoes planted to harvest throughout the next year ahead & fulfil our commitments & orders with contracted supermarket agreements. The humidity is high, there's an awful lot of sweat & not much air con in the paddock! We know this season well. Like an old friend, it comes in with great force every year. As families with young children, we plan our holidays in the Australian winters usually escaping to somewhere warm (unlikely this year) & we study the weather channel & plan our workload accordingly around what we might 'think' the weather might do... (we do not always get this right!). We know that sometimes dad wont make it home in time to eat his dinner with us, come to the creek for an arvo swim with us or kick the footy with us. But this lifestyle, the one in which we choose everyday brings us great joy, a growing sense of pride & this year just gone has honoured our efforts & awarded us with wonderful achievements. That right there is why we turn up each year on the starting blocks in October ready to take on this marathon effort once again. Proud Australian farmers just out here doing our best - even though right now we are, like our tractors, a little bit puffed!

12.01.2022 Happy Birthday to our Managing Director Matthew! A day off work and a few beers with the wife & celebratory dinner with the family. It’s been a great Sunday.

07.01.2022 Friday night we received a large order for Cudgen’s finest to be on our transport truck arriving into Sydney on Tuesday. This meant we had to gather a crew to work today, Sunday. Not something we have had to do in many years. Arrangements were made with staff on Saturday for 6am start on Sunday. Today we were able to successfully harvest an entire semi trailer load of sweet potatoes in just four hours. Tomorrow they will be packed ready for their journey to Sydney. They will arrive into NSW Coles Supermarket stores by Wednesday. Isn’t Australian grown produce just the best! Harvested on Sunday and eaten by Australians for dinner on a Wednesday!

05.01.2022 A short little snapshot of what goes on in the paddock with that strange looking contraption that we call our Harvester... She’s purpose built by an engineer and is an absolutely essential part of our working day. Questions...?
