It’s Raspberry Time
Hi everyone. We have just launched out shopping trolley. It has been a long winded task but just like a boat it now is out there for all of you to look at and it will sink or swim on its own merits. We are very pleased with the results so far and I think our customers are pleased to know that they can stock up whenever and it really doesn’t matter where you live. Postage isn’t cheap but then again you are buying direct and there are no middle man charges.
The Raspberry season has just started. The growing season has seemed a little slow this year because of the colder weather and frequent showers. But the upside is that the farm has never looked better.
Our new water pump has been installed. We have always had a water limitation in the lower paddocks. This new pump practically double our flow rate and didn’t take all that long to install and started up straight away. We really needed it for the new paddock across our so-called creek( normally dry except after heavy rains). This paddock was established from land cleared after the bushfire. This area was our least developed direction for bushfire protection.
We have also started harvesting honey. Jason Johnson used to do it for us but has since moved on to greener pastures and now works at White Sands which will be one of the iconic places to visit and stay in the future.
All of our hives were destroyed in the bushfire. I am actually enjoying it more now that i have a decent bee suit. The little varmints always seem to know when I was around and would find holes in my suit and then attack me. I might add not just the one but all of his mates would know exactly how to get to me too.
