On Hendra Farm This Week



Welcome to a weekly update of news and happenings from our farm at Hendra. The farm is the heart of our business - after all, it's where most of the veg, meat and bread you see on the shelf at On The Table comes from! It is our home and livelihood. We figure you might be interested in what goes on there!

It has been a busy few weeks. Our big news is that Daniel is just finishing off the conversion of our old dairy into a bakehouse. This is a very exciting development for us that's going to allow us to offer our customers a wider range of fresh, delicious breads. We've been on a superb bread making course run by Linda Tonkin from Blue Mango and will be putting all we've learnt into the baking.

We plan to mill our own grain so we can register the bread as organic. I'm looking forward to us baking a range of olive breads - one of my own favourites - and being able to drop the bread off at the shop just ahead of the school run!
