Fab two weeks with Sophie & Basile from France and Adele from Hong Kong who have been helping on the farmstay through Helpx. Lots of good food (mmm… French bread, quiches, sushi, Chinese dumplings, fresh churned butter, buttermilk pancakes, mayonnaise…), good company and hard yakka! Here’s some of the times we shared in pictures. #gallery-1 { Caught a bit of TV last night and saw the new ad for Kmart Australia. Whoa! A father and son go into a Kmart and come across a shelf loaded with a zillion different types of toaster. The son likes the look of one at his end. The dad likes the look of the one at his end…but [...] Yesterday we were so happy to welcome the Wallis Lake Tourist Travel Club to the farm…our first large bus tour group. And what a fun day! Just loved it. Mal Pruitt from Tuncurry Coaches has been so generous advising us on what we needed to do to bring tour groups to the farm, it was so cool that [...]  “Hens on Holidays”, that’s what we call our chicken coop these days having converted one old caravan into a mobile chicken tractor. We completed the first one a few months ago and the chickens have loved it (as has the paddock!), so thanks to our current Helpx’s (Basile, Sophie & Adele) we started another caravan reno today [...]  Just back from the 2010 Countrylink North Coast Tourism Awards (which covers the tourism industry from Port Stephens in the South to Tweed Heads in the North of NSW). It was held up at Coffs Harbour with Tim Bailey Ch 10′s weatherman doing the MC honours (he was great by the way!). It was a bit of [...] I often wonder what the Greyhound Bus driver thinks when he drops off all manner of foreign travellers at Nabiac…seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Nabiac isn’t the Byron Bay of backpacker routes, but in the last few days we’ve hosted the United Nations at the farm in the form of Helpx travellers who swap a [...] Our last chickens of the season are now available for sale… if you’re looking to buy we have a gorgeous lavender araucana rooster and lavender araucana hen for sale as a breeding pair – these are the blue egg laying chickens. We also have a light sussex rooster who is ready to work right now. Contact [...] We love our Dorper sheep, they’re such a personable, friendly, hardy, low maintenance breed. We’ve been breeding purebreds in NSW for a few years now and are a registered breeder with the Dorper Sheep Society. We also cross them with damaras and wiltshire horns. They’re a highly fertile breed, cycling all season, so as we let ours [...] Yay! Just heard that we’ve made it into the finals for the “Hosted Accommodation” section of the North Coast Tourism Awards. The North Coast Tourism Awards cover the region from Port Stephens in the South through to Tweed Heads in the North and west to the Great Dividing Range, so we’re very proud our farmstay has made [...] Today’s mail bought more regulation and fees with it…this time to do with producing and selling eggs in NSW. Luckily, we come under the limit so don’t need to apply for a license (though we and any other people selling less than 20 dozen eggs a week DO NEED to notify the Food Authority of their business details [...] |
