Tucked away in the Tweed Valley, and just south of Murwillumbah is the tiny town of Burringbar, NSW, home to local pottery artist, Chez Pottery.
In her studio in Burringbar, Chez creates unique pieces of art which aim to capture the colours of the local area.
Chez’s beautiful pottery tumblers are made from clays in a range of earthy colours, some of which is recycled. They can be used for hot or cold drinks as they are great at holding temperature. No two of her pieces will ever be the same, & that’s why we think they’re perfect to include in our Tea For One and Tea For Two Hampers.
30 minutes from the Gold Coast and an hour from Brisbane, green, leafy Tamborine Mountain is a short drive from the city but a long way from the bustle.
Tamborine Mountain has a tight knit community and is home to many passionate makers and growers showcasing seasonal local produce direct from the grower and shops featuring artisan products made right on the mountain.
One of these makers is Fiona Porteous of The Old Blacksmiths Cottage. Fiona’s jams, relishes, chutneys, pickles and pastes have won multiple awards and it’s easy to taste why.
We had a chat with Fiona to learn more about how her small business came to be.
Mad Mountain Family Farm is located on the spectacular Tomewin Mountain in Northern NSW. Known for its lush volcanic soil and high rainfall, Tomewin Mountain offers prime farming conditions. Founded and run entirely by Lyn and Tim Gallagher and their family, Mad Mountain Family Farm produces a delectable range of Jams, Sauces, Chutneys and Herbal Teas from produce grown organically and sustainably on the property.
We first discovered Mad Mountain products at Murwillumbah farmers market and fell in love with their sweet chilli sauce and their incredible tea range.
We spoke to Lyn and Tim about how Mad Mountain Family Farm came to be...
