The top Farm-ily posts for 2017.

Thank you for all your continued encouragement and interest in my little blog about our life on the farm in southern NSW, Australia. Connecting with you all over the years has been a real joy and I cherish the friendships that have formed. Your blogs have opened my eyes to world. 

Happy New Year to you all.

It’s the time of year for hampers. 

This year's hampers were inspired by the next generation coming home to the family farm with fresh ideas:

Organic hand milled flour from Woodstock Flour, aroma filled peppermint tea from Everything Peppermint, roasted chickpeas from Pangkarra, rolled oats from Dad's Oats. And for the sweet tooth: chickpea brownie mix from Rupanyup Living, delightful little tarts from Unforgettable Products & custom made cookies from Dough Re Mi Cookie Co. As well as very cute Lego Farmer calendar from Little Brick Pastoral & of course our very own Farm-ily calendar.

All this in beautifully made bags from Laura at Love Laura Bags.

Australian made local goodness.
