24.01.2022 Thanks to the awesome team at @thestunnedmulletportmac for an incredible dinner for our family, celebrating Erics half century. #Repost @thestunnedmulletportmac (@get_repost) Happy big 50 to this legend @theotherchef.portmacquarie He’s been a massive part of our food journey since we opened 15 years ago, first working on the pans in our kitchen (back in the day!) then going on to build an amazing and hugely successful business, taking the finest fresh produce from our region @portmacquarie and producing all kinds of deliciousness, distributed far and wide. Eric has done wonderful things for our part of the world, and we thank him, Monica and their beautiful family for always supporting us

23.01.2022 We have been with the Newcastle Permanent for a long time now, and cannot recommend them highly enough for their professional, personal service and commitment to community. Here's a little story about us.

23.01.2022 Our new Minestrone Soup is hearty, healthy and will feed a family of 3-4 with some crusty bread on the side. A big 1 litre jar is only $10.50, and all you have to do is heat and serve. Order it via our online stall (remember free delivery to Port Macquarie, Lake Cathie and Bonny Hills - use the code LOCAL at checkout) https://www.farmhousedirect.com.au/theothercheffin/products or group it together with some other local fare by ordering via Port Macquarie Food Hub #portmacquariemade #comfortfood

22.01.2022 #Repost @johgriggs7 (@get_repost) Part 1 of Friday’s story (for me at least) on Better Homes and Gardens focuses on The Port Macquarie Food Hub - which is a phenomenal initiative born out of desperate circumstances due to Covid-19. Many of the leading food producers and farmers on the NSW Mid North Coast all of a sudden lost anywhere from 50-100% of their regular orders and dealings with clientele. So Andrew Hearne from Near River Produce had an idea, and a very tech sav...vy wife in Therese who could make the dream an online reality within a matter of days. Andrew started calling other farmers, and then broached Eric and Monica Robinson from The Other Chef for some space to operate the food hub out of (The Other Chef is the most extraordinary production facility and store, full of delicious handcrafted and award winning products like sauces, relishes, black garlic, pickles, jams, homemade pastas etc.) Now anyone who can travel there - can order online, and collect their ridiculously fresh produce every Thursday. The quality is off the scale, everything is seasonal and full of nutrients.... the meats are packaged locally and by using the hub, you are supporting the local farming families and enterprises directly. There are 17 businesses involved now and it’s constantly growing. It’s such a great idea. My only regret is that I don’t live close enough to use it myself every week! (Mind you - I filled the esky and car up on the day!!) This was such a super positive story to cover. I absolutely loved it. Here’s a list of the producers currently available. And if you are on the NSW Mid North Coast head to portmacquariefoodhub.com.au for more details: @theotherchef.portmacquarie @nearriverproduce @burrawonggaian @babalila_chocolate_shop @elena_burraduc_buffalo @ewetopia_farm @portmacquariepastaco @urbangrainbakery @millyhillmeat @donecoffee @mastersoffresh.com.au #littlehillfarm #sweetwaterfarm #riccardoestomatoes #homegrownorganics #amanifarmeggs #summerhillhorticulture and @amberdrophoney (who I get to go and spend a day with for part 2.) #betterhomesandgardens #freshfoodinitiative #greatideabornoutofhardship #theotherchef #nearriverproduce #amberdrophoney #n See more
