But wait there’s MORE!
At the Kandanga Farm Store we will have a mini market set up to feature some of our other local producers and artisans. Come and meet the makers, sample their wares and help build a thriving small business driven local economy. Some of our market holders include
Michelle from Ugly Duck Preserves – Michelle uses the Kandanga Farm Store commercial kitchen to value add to produce that does not meet retail sale spec (ie it is misshapen, too big, too small – or just misunderstood) into gourmet relishes, chutneys and jams.
Victoria from Winsland Park will be launching her new range of wild ferments also using ALL local chemical free produce.
Ryan from Mary Valley Smallgoods with his locally made salamis and sausages
Jon from Woodland Herbs with his herbs, medicinal herbs, succulants and flowers
Karl from Venz guitars with his gorgeous guitars and ukeleles all made at Amamoor using local timbers
Juice Caboose will also be here with their healthy and delicious juices and smoothies.
AND!!!! By pre-registering you will automatically go into the draw to win a product from one of the above market participants. There’s one give away per tour. REGISTER HERE
Plus of course Kandanga Farm Store will be open with its usual stock of local produce plus, farm and garden supplies and country living gifts and essentials
So we have an idea of numbers would you please register via this Eventbrite link AND you can also pre-book your lunch featuring local produce and K2 Beef of course from Kandanga Kitchen. Follow this link to do that.
MORE ABOUT KANDANGA FARM!
Kandanga Farm wraps around the township of Kandanga and is also the farm that the Kandanga Farm Store looks over. Kandanga Farm is an organic (in conversion) beef property plus has a market garden that is run by the students of Kandanga State School. Products that are sold by Bos Rural Supplies at The Kandanga Farm Store are trialled on the farm too.
Join farmer Tim for rolling tours throughout the day. Tim loves to talk about regenerative agriculture which is farming to save the planet! See the entirely pasture fed cattle and learn how they are managed in a way to reduce stress, mirror natures patterns and repair the landscape. Whether you are a city slicker or a old time farmer we think this tour will be informative and inspiring.
Kandanga Kitchen will be open on the day to keep you sustained. Kandanga Kitchen has a seasonal menu that features local produce including Kandanga Farm’s K2 Beef. Kandanga Kitchen will be serving delicious sweet treats, coffee and meals but to reduce your wait time you can pre-order a take away GourMay K2Beef Burger here
We look forward to meeting you on the 25th!
