Changing Seasons

We have had a pretty good summer season this year. We've managed to get under some pretty useful rain falls and so our pastures are looking pretty! Hopefully the grass we have now will get us through the winter, as we are unlikely to get much more useful rain now. When I say useful, I mean that our pastures are predominantly summer grasses and don't respond very well to winter rain. If we get rain now and have a few more weeks of warm weather, we will continue to grow grass. By early May it can start to really cool off. Our winters are usually reasonably mild, although we can get frosts in the morning, the evenings are often really cold, but the days warm up so that you don't need a coat by about 9am (or earlier). I have planted most of my winter garden, although have a little room left to buy some more seedlings this weekend and I have also got to plant some garlic in the next few weeks (waiting for it to get a little cooler). So bring on the winter and some coolness!

Markets are on this weekend. This is out of the ordinary, as we don't normally do a 5th weekend. However, we will be away on our usual first weekend of the month (first weekend in May) because our oldest son is getting married. I am getting a little excited about that!

Yeppoon Markets - 6am to about 10am at the Yeppoon Showgrounds - 29th April

Rockhampton Markets - 6am to 12 midday at the Kern Arcade Carpark Markets - 30th April

PLEASE NOTE:    We will not be in our usual spot at Kern Arcade markets! 

We will be way over in the opposite corner, near were the Asian Vegetables stall is - not far from the other mobile butcher. (Please don't get us confused). IF you can't find me, please send me a text message - 0456109161. We will have a bit of trouble parking there, so the trailer might not be overly obvious!

We have sold a side of beef already, so will only have the one side for sale, which means we won't have as much as usual. We won't have much fresh mince, but I will bring in some frozen mince from last time. This will be on special - 30% off.

Why not make some meatballs with our on sale Mince?

Just a reminder that as well as our usual Beef, Goat, Pork, Ham and Bacon, we will also have
Bone Broth, Lard, Salami and Soap.

I look forward to seeing you on the weekend - don't forget that we are local farmers so by supporting us, you support your local economy. We will also be bringing in fresh supplies for Dingles Cafe, so please support them too, as they support local farmers wherever they can. They are using our Sausages, Bacon and Pork Collars.
