24.01.2022 Baked Wattleseed Sourdough bread using @mayiharvestsnativefoods ingredients. Made by Tiffany at the Ark of Taste event presented by Mayi Harvests, Minybarl and Slow Food WA. The Ark of Taste - travels the world collecting small-scale quality productions that belong to the cultures, history and traditions of the entire planet: an extraordinary heritage of fruits, vegetables, animal breeds, cheeses, breads, sweets and cured meats. The Ark was created to point out the existenc...e of these products, draw attention to the risk of their extinction within a few generations, and Slow Food invites everyone to take action to help protect them. In some cases this might be by buying and consuming them, in some by telling their story and supporting their producers, and in others, such as the case of endangered wild species, this might mean eating less or none of them in order to preserve them and favour their reproduction.

19.01.2022 We have just finished a fresh new harvest of our specialty Djilanyjin native tea. ( also known as sleepy tea) wonderful in assisting a relaxing night's sleep. This tea can only be collected in certain areas around the Kimberley region. We travel almost 3 hours out of Broome to wild harvest these beautiful leaves and seeds. Then travel another 3 hours to get it back home. Traditionally used as a medicine by our elders for years. The sap, bark and leaves were all used to aid s...leep and rest for the body. With our Djilanyjun native tea we only harvest and dry out the leaves for you to enjoy a wonderful loose leaf tea infusions.

18.01.2022 Harvesting off the land when we get a break in the weather. However we are loving the beautiful rainy season on Ngumbarl/ Jabirr Jabirr country in the WA Kimberley.
18.01.2022 Appreciating all the hard work our beautiful bees are doing. ( if you look closely you will see them collecting the pollen ) Bees are keystone species that play a vital role in preserving ecosystem health. Bees provide essential pollination services for plants. Maintaining plant diversity supports other essential ecosystem services including helping to regulate climate, purify air and water, build soil and recycle nutrients.... Without bees, ecosystems are at risk.

12.01.2022 Native Lemongrass is in season now. So don't forget to place your orders online for our freshly dried harvest. Not to be mistaken with the thick Asian lemongrasses that are found in supermarkets, native lemon grass grows around drier parts of the country. It can be located by their green tuffs at the ends of their thin stalks and when crushed, conveys a beautiful citrus-y scent. We use it as a herbal Tea, but it is can be used in broths, to stuff meat or infused into all kin...ds of sweet treats. Rough Cut -Native Lemongrassis cut in larger sections for tea blends or soups. Fine Cut- Delicate piecescut into finer sections to allow for greater absorption into liquid extracts. See more
11.01.2022 The Jarndu Yawuru women's center (jarndu means woman in Djugun and Yawuru) was created in the late 1980's by a group of local women from the town of Broome in Western Australia. It was coordinated for twenty-five years by the late Theresa Barker, an indigenous woman from the region (Djugun, language of Broome and Yawuru, language south of the town, by her mother, Irene Drummond, and Jabirr Jabirr by her father, Joe Torres) who initiated the Jarndu Yawuru oral history project ...to map and record stories from the country with 15 elders, law-women and law-men, some of whom are in this film whose main story teller is Theresa's daughter, Pat Torres. After Theresa Barker's death, now coordinated by Pat Torres, writer, artist, linguist and bush food promoter, with the mayiharvestproducts (see recent films on https://vimeo.com/dreamingsfilms), the center changed it's name to become the Mary Minyarl centre, in hommage to Theresa's great grandmother. The center provided many cultural activities : a library of family, ethnographic and historical archives, language lessons in Yawuru, silk screening, accountancy and computer courses, child care and second hand clothes. The Black and white archives used in the film (Doris Edgar and husband Tommy Edgar, Joe Bernard, Matthew Gilbert and others singing together) were filmed in 1987-89 by Wayne Barker Jowandi (Theresa's son), film maker and musician, working to promote Kimberley culture at KALACC). The Broome protest camp against the Crocodile farm and the interview with Cissy Djiagween and her daughter Mary Tarran was filmed in October 1992 by Barbara Glowczewski, anthropologist from France (CNRS). https://www.mayiharvests.com.au//jarndu-yawuru-woman-s-cen
07.01.2022 WIRRALBU is the Djugun name for the next season we move into for the Kimberley region. Occurs during April/May where we begin to harvest the next season of fruit, herbs, seeds and plants that have become ready.
04.01.2022 Golden Wattleseeds. When these tiny seeds have been cooked or roasted it is a delicious edible seed with multi uses for cooking, baking and beauty products.The seeds are housed inside small, flat pods similar to tamarind. Most commonly, the seeds are ground up and turned into a powder, extract, or paste. Wattle seed has a strong nutty, roasted coffee aroma, with touches of sweet spice, raisins, chocolate and a hint of bitterness. It has a savoury wheat-biscuit flavour. ... It makes for a versatile ingredient that can be used as a thickening agent or flavour booster in desserts and beverages, including cakes, ice cream, smoothies, and beer. See more

03.01.2022 Our Djilanyjuntea is treated as a relaxation tonic and best taken in the evening before bed, to help with a deep relaxing sleep. Djilanyjun ( Djugun Language) orJilungin or (Terminalia canescens) is one of our favourite specialty native teas. All our teas are loose leaf, sun-dried and handmade for your loose leaf tea infusions.
03.01.2022 We have collected a small harvest of Pink/Red Gabiny ( Kakadu Plum) that have been pollinated by our beautiful little stingless native bees or sugar bag bees. We made these man-made bee hives to protect them and give them a safe area to expand and grow their colonies. Last year we attended a workshop to learn how to carefully transplant their honeycomb hives into these man-made bee hive boxes for our little stingless bees to live and pollinate our native plants and gardens.... This will provide more homes for bee colonies to grow and expand within the bush and in our own backyards. Making sure out native wildlife is looked after and flourishing is a vital part of protecting the plants, the land and our animals, which will also ensure our native foods business will continue.
