Summer Hours and New Year Community Plans

Farm shop open New Year's Day; events and cafe updates.

Two brown sheep stand in a sunlit green pasture, with the nearer sheep in sharp focus and the other slightly behind. Rocks and tall grass fill the foreground.

Merry Christmas and Happy Summer Solstice! Wishing you the very best over this season, however you choose to celebrate it and thank you to all those who have stopped by over the past week. Hopefully those of you who live locally weren’t too uncomfortable with the double whammy of the hottest Christmas Day on record, combined with an eight hour power cut! We spent Christmas afternoon and early evening at the shop monitoring temperatures, but thankfully didn’t lose much as the cool room did a magnificent job of keeping everything at a safe temperature. Some businesses in town lost much more, and we hope they are able to recover quickly from any losses.

We are back to usual open hours, including New Years Day, where the coffee machine will be running and light breakfast options available for any early birds with doors open from 7am.

After an incredibly challenging year, both on and off the farm, 2026 is looking bright. We can’t wait to get stuck in to new community events, coming up with ways to utilise the amazing farm produce in the cafe and getting to work with the new cellar door that will be opening soon.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who supports this little social enterprise adventure. We quite literally couldn’t do it without you!

 “Open Hours” with a list of dates from Monday 22 Dec to Friday 2 Jan and their opening times, including “Closed” on Thursday 25 Dec and Sunday 28 Dec. Decorative starburst icons appear in the top-left and bottom-right corners.

View down a narrow aisle inside a greenhouse, with leafy cucumber vines and hanging cucumbers growing on both sides. A green shade net stretches overhead above the plants and woodchip-covered path.

Tall reeds and grasses fill the foreground beside a calm lake. A line of trees and open fields sit under a blue sky with scattered clouds in the background.
