The Real Talk About Eco-Friendly Dishwashing
If you've ever stood in the cleaning aisle trying to find dishwashing products without a laundry list of questionable chemicals that actually work, you know the struggle is real.

Sarah's Easy Overnight Oats
Craig's wife, Sarah, started making overnight oats as a response to the busy rush each morning trying to get everyone fed, dressed and out the door each morning. We love making Overnight Oats as it's something we can ahead of time (usually at night when the kids are in bed), they're super versatile so you won't feel like you're eating the same thing everyday, and they take literally seconds to prepare in the morning... just take the lid off! Soaking overnight means we don't h

Marzipan Fruit
After learning that nobody was producing these locally in 2023, we got in touch with our good friend Kathlene Moller who taught us how to make them from scratch. In that first year we made a few dozen, which sold out immediately. There was so much demand that in 2024 we decided to have a crack at mass producing them. We took pre-orders for over 1000 individual fruits, and then got to work! It turned out to be a pretty arduous process, including a few late nights painting frui

Craig's Fermented Mango & Habanero Hot Sauce
We thought we'd share this one, considering we've recently sold over 800kg of Mangoes as part of our annual fundraiser!

It's same process used to make yoghurt, sauerkraut and kimchi (which Craig learned a lot about during hi
