Don't forget, Bundarra Food Pantry is on today!

As well as pantry goods, there will be fresh produce from New England Fruit and Vegetables, and a small quantity of pastured free-range eggs from Ridgestead.

This Uralla Community Neighbourhood Centre service is open to everyone in the community, but needs to be used so we don't lose it — be sure to come down and grab a bag of groceries 😊.

Located at the back of Commercial Hotel Bundarra NSW from 10:30am - 1pm.

Bundarra Garden Festival is on, and it's going to be amazing!

Ridgestead will have a small stall at Bundarra Preschool, and we would love for you to come and visit us, and all of the incredible open gardens.

All proceeds from gate entries to the event go to Inverell Breast Cancer Support Group, and several gardens will have stalls raising money for various other charities.

Please show your community support, and have a great weekend!

x Hope to see you there.

Did you see our feature in the New England Times for small business month? If not, we'd love for you to check it out!

Tell us: What's one small business you supported during October?

Today is the last day of small business month! And we saved three you've probably never heard of for the final day - homegrown and handmade products, a equine masseuse and therapist, and the ultimate in mobile coffee carts.

Morning!

Just a quick little garden update for you — a few winter brassicas are still growing (btw, how gorgeous is the purple sprouting broccoli?!), and the spring/ summer veggies are starting to grow/ germinate, but we're having to cover the seedling every night because we're still getting frosts.

Part of our ethos is to let some of our vegetables go to flower, and the foragers absolutely love them!

We're hoping to open up veggie orders in the next few weeks, and we'll be starting with silverbeet, carrots, beetroot, broadbeans, and some herbs.

Are you growing anything? Let us know in the comments 😊.

Happy Sunday!

We have a new product just about to launch, but if you want to be ahead of the queue, you can pre-order right now by commenting or sending a DM, and we'll put you on the list so you don't miss out. Payment not required until you receive the product.

✨ 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 ✨

Made from 100% natural ingredients (unlike most other 'food safe' wood treatments 🤢), our wood butter is perfect for helping to protect and nourish all of your wooden utensils, household items, and even toys!

>> Drake, Hens A, B, C, & D are SOLD — other hens (E & F) still available!

22/08/2024

After letting the hens have a well-deserved break over winter, we have eggs for sale again!

Unfortunately, due to feed cost increases, we've had to increase our egg prices slightly...but the good news is that our eggs are still cheaper (and yummier) than comparable supermarket eggs.

Check out the images for all our egg info and pricing!

💥 We accept CASH or EFTPOS 💥

Some new products are coming very soon!

Make sure to watch until the end, then tell us in the comments what you think we've been making.

Here's a hint:

➡️ They are both beeswax-based products

Want another hint?

➡️ They can both be used for helping to restore household items

Hi everyone,

You may have noticed we've been MIA for a little while, and that's because we've been busy behind the scenes updating our business model, re-designing our branding, getting marketing products organised, and researching/ experimenting with NEW handmade products.

We've also decided to disconnect our previous phone number, so our best contacts are via email ([email protected]) or direct message.

We'll be updating our page more regularly with product availability, sneek peaks at behind the scenes, upcoming events, and sales.

For product purchases, we accept cash or EFTPOS, and can take orders via DM, email, or in person.

There are also some FREE ways you can help us:

➡️ LIKE and FOLLOW Ridgestead

➡️ SHARE our page with your friends

➡️ SUGGEST or RECOMMEND our products

Thanks for sticking around and supporting our small business!

Perfect as breeders, pets, or for the freezer.

We would prefer to sell in pairs/ groups/ as a lot.
