How quickly plans change...

It is with much disappointment that we have decided not to continue selling herbs this season because we are moving to Launceston.

Although the business won't continue there, herbs will be the first thing to go in along with a new orchard & veggie garden. We only wish we could relocate everything from here.

We have had a great time growing fantastic herbs & meeting many friendly people passionate about Tasmanian fresh produce. Thank you to all who have been so inspiring & supported us.

Rob & Fiona.

*******************************


Fresh Culinary Herbs grown @ Somerset. We are privileged to live near the coast with sea views, breezes and a mild climate in the beautiful red soil farmland of North West Tasmania.

Our passion for herbs has been addictive for over 20 years. Establishing in 2008, we're selectively growing the most popular culinary herbs along with a few unique ones & continue to trial. Cutting our herbs, we get a buzz knowing that our best has been done to provide the freshest quality with care taken to wash, pack & deliver within the shortest time possible.

We aim to produce a good selection & consistent supply as the business grows. Bunches are cut fresh to order & are large catering /restaurant quantity. Our season runs from around October through to May. All is dependent on the weather but that doesn't mean we stop ...We do have a rest over Winter & do all the exciting paperwork etc but we're also preparing for the coming season.

The herb garden is evolving and we are always learning and making improvements. We are environmentally responsible using biodegradable & or compostable packaging & use farm practices as close to organic as possible.

From horse paddock to garden in 2 years. A great place to spend the morning with a cuppa as the sun comes up. Most early mornings are spent watering. With the unpredictable weather from 19-34 dc the past weeks, every day is different. Nothing goes to waste, the prunings go to the cow, sheep & chooks. We always say our cow will be well pre-marinated ! The ducks are always on patrol for slugs & bugs but I've seen even less this year, so they are doing their job well. Rob is making a larger pond to keep them happy.

                                          MMMM............BASIL


         
The shade tunnel is going up now then another poly tunnel in Winter for next season's basil & coriander. Unfortunately we lost the brand new 15 x 5m one in September's horrendous wind storm (the doors were the only things left to go on, then it was just flattened ! ). A bit of a set back but we continue on.

                                          HAPPY DUCKS.....
