Honeycomb Valley Farmstay wins 2010 North Coast Tourism Awards for Excellence – for Hosted Accommodation

North Coast Tourism Awards

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 [...]

Organic Farmers Markets in Sydney

Wow, what a weekend! We headed down to Sydney to give the organic markets a try and ended up having a fantastic weekend catching up with lots of past farmstay guests…who would have thought you could fit 12 kids behind the counter of our little stall!?!

The house smells great, but there’s not much room left for the human kids (or the goat ones!) and so [...]

Goats Milk Ice Cream recipe – more more more!

Okay, so we’ve now had to change SBS’s “Gourmet Farmer’s” goats milk ice cream recipe again (check out the post from a few days ago) because:

everyone wants to keep eating it
we’ve got a lot of eggs at the moment
we were using lemon juice to make goats milk paneer so it made sense to use the rind to make [...]
