25.01.2022 Oh Hell Yeah !!!! And with the amount of ordering I have done this morning Santa just has to make one shopping trip

23.01.2022 Thank you for your continued support this past, and crazy, year. 2020 has certainly been a MASSIVE year and one we are not going to forget in a hurry. I am hoping that some things never return - like the Vegetable seedling panic - who would have though lol . Without you guys there would be no Gerry's. To everyone that has travelled - from Biloela, Gladstone, Munduberra, Gayndah, Eidsvold and beyond , just to visit my little Nursery an even bigger Thank You - you guys rock ...!!!! To my friends/helpers - Tracey, Tracy, Melissa, Cassie - thank you for dropping everything and jumping in to help with weekend watering, last minute/rushed/ HUGE plant orders lol. And lets not forget the "just need a hand unpacking a few pots" text messages . I am glad you guys work for Cheesecake :) (*Thanks Bec for helping me out there lol). Also my two juniors - Lucy and Grace - great little workers , and always with a smile :) I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, filled with lots and lots of rain !!!! (fingers crossed). I am taking a little break but will be back on Tuesday the 12th of January, with lots of new ideas . If you are lucky enough to receive a Gerry's Gift Voucher, don't worry there will be plenty to choose from AND there is already stock ordered for the first week back. Hoping everyone else likes their gifts they receive tomorrow, I did my best to make sure everyone got what was on their Wish Lists. Note that some husbands may have taken a little "talking to", but we got there in the end Safe travels people, see you on the other side.

21.01.2022 I've been extremely busy working on next week's orders - lets just say Thursday is going to be a BIG day :)

16.01.2022 Hi lovers unfortunately no ’s to be had at Carnarvon Gorge so we hit the road in search of a another bakery that dishes up outstanding ’s. We headed throug...h Biloela and eventually lobbing in the pretty little town of Monto. This place is a gem, 2 great pubs, great camping facilities and of course a awesome Bakery. The bakery i’m talking about is Picky’s ’s and pastries !!!! This was a impromptu review, I virtually rocked up unannounced introduced myself to Kerin and Karen and started ripping in. These guys have had this place for over 29 years !!! With Karen originally from Bundaberg and Kerin a born and breed Monto Ite !!!! Kerin the son of a dairy farmer, but he explained to me that his fair skin wasn’t up to the task of a farming life so he decided to start his apprenticeship as a baker. This place is so easy to find it’s smack bang in the man street of Monto and is open 5 and 1/2 days a week. From ’s to pastries even cream buns the food is awesome !!! I have been to Monto plenty of times but never had one of Kerin’s creations so I was mega keen to tuck in. Kerin was super keen for me to try his Chunky Pepper Steak and I was massively excited !!!! Pepper Steak is one of my favorite ’s and I didn’t need much convincing. THE REVIEW 1. Value for Money This beauty was priced well at $5. While it wasn’t a massive it was a decent size and well worth the price tag of 5 bucks !!!!! 8/10 2. Meat Ratio - Pretty damm full. Huge chunks of meat. Not a lot of room left 9/10 3. Meat Flavour Terrific flavor !!!! Huge chunks of tender meat. The pepper flavor was spot of as well. 8/10 4. Pastry - The pastry was super soft. The base held together perfectly. The top was crispy. 8.5/10 5. Temperature - A tad hot, but overall pretty good. Hardly any waiting around !!!! 9/10 Overall Rating 42.5/50 This was was superb !!! The highlight for me was the flavor !!! The had just enough pepper flavor to give it a little kick !!!! Plus at 5 bucks it’s a great valued !!!! This is a great little bakery situated in a awesome little town !! Weather your passing through or staying overnight this bakery will have all your cravings covered. Monto is a terrific little town with so much to see not only in town but in the area. I need to send out a huge thanks to Kerin and Karen. These guys are bloody amazing. To let a stranger into their business and allow me to share their story I’m truly grateful. These guys work their arses off !!!!! Karen runs the show while Kerin is busy baking and delivering products all around town. To be still going strong after nearly 30 years in business is remarkable. These little towns thrive when people are out and about traveling and it’s awesome to see so many people out on the roads particularly in these country towns spending $$$$. This week I have lined up a review at the Wondai Bakery !!! I Cannot wait for that one. Plus we will be water skiing at Boondooma Dam all week so if your in or around the area pop in for a beer !!!!! Also the APP is on the way !!!!! This App will allow your to search your favorite bakery and read all the reviews I have done. It’s going to be HUGE so stay tuned for more details. As always thanks for the support & stay safe and have a cracking weekend !!!! #PIES #SUPPORTLOCAL
