25.01.2022 Such abundance, and the difference a year (and drought breaking rain) makes. This is the inflorescence (flower spike) of one of our macadamia trees, the perfume from which will shortly fill the air. Each flower has the potential to become a fruit, in this case a nut. Yes they can be extremely prolific. I love the way nature responds ‘in the moment’ to what’s happening around her - last year these trees had shed many leaves, new spring growth was minimal and flowers sparse.... It’s empowering to see Her resilience as we continue our revolutions around the Sun. #abundance #natureprovides #macadamias #gratitude

24.01.2022 All lined up Decanting liquid gold on the night of a full moon Lard - 20% less saturated fat than butter and higher in monounsaturated fats which are said to lower LDL cholesterol.... Bakers demand it for their pie pastry. You’ll crave it once you use it to roast your vegetables with.

23.01.2022 Much of this weekend will be spent celebrating #thefestivalofBron, a Covid-delayed 60th for our dear friend. There will be much good food, fine wine, and plenty of conviviality. And here is the first part - goat from @thegourmetgoatlady supplied by @featherandboneprovidore with the recipe from their excellent #theethicalomnivore book.... It’s going to be a great weekend! #realfood #goodfriends #celebration

18.01.2022 The Port Macquarie Food Hub is inspiring the Chefs of Port Macquarie and they've created a series of short cooking videos using the great produce from the region. This week Lindsay from Fusion 7 shows us how to cook a delicious duck breast dish.

17.01.2022 Butterflied, organic fed, pasture raised chicken, cooked over pear wood. Read on for the full story. #Repost @andrewatnrp... Anyone that knows me understands that I don’t cook - ‘I just grow them’. At least that was the case. The latest @chefstablenetflix series is about BBQ, and whilst there’s a couple of eps about Southern USA, the most engaging is with Lennox Hastie of @firedoor_surryhills As you’d expect, it details his lengthy journey - that it has been - though what really inspired me was Lennox saying that no two cooking sessions are the same as the fire is always different! That has totally sparked my interest as it spoke to me as a farmer. So I’m cooking, over fire. This was last night’s effort, a super local chicken from #kanookacreekfarm that we look forward to telling you more about shortly. It was delicious, and the pumpkin was great too!

17.01.2022 For the last few days we’ve had the delight of spending time with these three young ladies and their folks who came to see what we do at Near River. You see for the past eight years we’ve been feeding them, at first through our market stalls in Sydney, then more recently through @portmacquariefoodhub And yes the younger ones weren’t a sparkle in their parents eye when @_rebeccanewman_ first walked up to us. As passionate farmers who revel in connecting with our community, sp...ending time with this family that we’ve helped nurture was wonderful, and learning more about @mark_newmark and the stellar @newmarkconstructions was great too. This in part is what #realfood is about for us - for you to know your farmers and producers, and us to know the families we nurture and feed. We look forward to seeing you all again Newman clan. #veryhappyfarmer #community #connection #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood #whoisyourlocalfoodcommunity See more

09.01.2022 We’ve had a wonderful weekend with some long term customers who’ve become firm friends. Good food, good wine, great friends, good times. Duck from @burrawonggaian Pork from @nearriverproduce ... Wine from @tamburlaineorganicwines #realfood #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood #foodconnects #goodtimes #sundayfeast

07.01.2022 A late lunch to finish a thoroughly enjoyable if slightly indulgent weekend. For sometime a meal at @marganwine with their garden to plate ethos has been high on our list - the wines are pretty good too! Even managed to help put their chooks away at the end of the day.... #huntervalleywinecountry @ Margan Wines & Restaurant

06.01.2022 Waiting for the sun to warm things up #pastureraised #happypiggies #freerange... #berkshirex #hollisdale See more

05.01.2022 One of the dishes from dinner @muserestaurant_ Wow, what a delightful experience. From our arrival all the way through to being dropped back to our accommodation we were cared for. The attentive floor team ensured our evening was thoroughly enjoyable. And the food was all we expected and more. This is the pork dish - @thereseatnrp likes to see how others cook it - loin with cotechino, kohlrabi and winter apples. Thanks Georgia and @chef_gordon_cooke for spoiling us. That’s a mighty crew you have @troymuse

04.01.2022 A perfect start to a weekend away filled with good wine and good food. #huntervalleywine #needmoreglasses

03.01.2022 Either the washing machines broken or ...... Mixing biodynamic soil preparations in a copper, with water heated to 40 degrees, agitate for an hour, by hand, stirring one way to create a vortex, then stirring the opposite direction inducing chaos. When we first arrived at Near River we dabbled in BioDynamics for a year and moved on.... Now as we replenish and rebuild our soils from the impact of the drought, these are practices we are committing to long term. Healthy soils, healthy animals, healthy humans. #biodynamics #soillife #ineedanewarm

03.01.2022 This is from one of our Meals In The Fields local food celebrations at Near River, and we’ve gotten around to getting it printed to hang on our wall. Taken by the talented Lindsay Moller Productions, it’s reminded us of some of the great times we’ve had here amongst our commitment to real food and community. Must do it again sometime. #realfood #mealsinthefields #community #celebration #portmacquarie

02.01.2022 It’s time again for application of biodynamic preparations, ideally taking place at specific times in each monthly lunar cycle. Practitioners recommend the use of natural tools where possible. I went looking for a horsehair brush to use to spread BD500 once we’ve prepared it. No luck, however appropriately I found a hog hair brush - perfect!... #biodynamics #soilislife #happysoilhappyplants

02.01.2022 This is devastating at any time, and as fellow ethical farmers we can only imagine the sense of loss. Please do anything you can to assist and help them get things back up and running. Long Table Farm is the sort of farming we all want to see more of - they strive for sustainable farming practices done in an ethical way where their animals are pasture-raised and treated with respect. A lot of what they love and do is dependent on the machinery, tools and equipment needed f...or day-to-day operations, all stored in their ginormous custom-built barn. In the early hours of this morning, the farm was devastated with the loss of this prized barn. 8 fire trucks attended, but the loss was devastating. As fire tore through it, Brent and Bec could only helplessly watch as it all was lost. Brent and Rebecca, along with help from family and friends, lovingly designed and built this barn from scratch, from foundation through to the finishing touches. Perched on the hill above the farm, it was an impressive structure and, as mentioned, housed everything important to daily farm life. For their business and livelihood to be sustained, along with their passion and drive, we thought we would encourage everyone, where possible, to help out. As all of us know, Brent and Rebecca are two of the most selfless people we have ever met. Their whole life philosophy is that when you have enough, you share, you pay it forward. Now it’s our chance to repay the love and kindness to them. Monetary donations to this GoFundMe page will help with the demolition and removal of the remnants of the barn as a starting point. Donations or loaning of machinery or tools and equipment is just as valuable. And if you have nothing to give, your time and energy to help out would be just as appreciated. In the spirit of a good old fashioned barn raising, we would love to see the Long Table Farm community rally around the two people who always rally around us. Please let us know how you would love to help. - Loren Pakalniskis (sister and all-round LTF supporter) https://www.gofundme.com/f/long-table-barn-raising

01.01.2022 Planning on including some pork in your meals this week? We’ve updated the online store @portmacquariefoodhub for our Mid North Coast customers, and there’s a whole host of other great local produce on offer there as well. Don’t eat like a king, eat like a local Sydney-siders can call or drop in to @FeatherandBone In Marrackville and source our pork along with a whole range of ethically raised goods. And thanks for the image.... And you can also now find us @farmtofridge in the Great Lakes area, another collaborative group of small scale growers and producers. Get to it! #realfood #pastureraised #pasturedpork #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood #midnorthcoast
