Today is Sarah’s birthday. YAY! WoooHooo! What a great reason to acknowledge just how much she means to me, to our family, and to Volcano Produce.

Like so many farmers’ wives, Sarah does an enormous amount of work that most people never see. The early mornings, the late nights, the bookkeeping, the packing, the organising, the problem-solving, the worrying, the encouraging, and all the little jobs that somehow hold the whole place together.

While others might see the vegetables, the farm shop, the deliveries, the markets and the social media posts, I see the hours of unseen work that make it all possible.

Honestly, this farm simply would not function without her. And I know we are not alone in this.

Across farming families everywhere, there are partners doing the hard, unpaid, unseen and often unrecognised work that keeps farms alive. They carry the stress, support the dreams, fill the gaps, raise the families, keep the books, feed the workers, answer the phones, calm the storms, and somehow keep going when everyone else is running on empty.

So today, while we celebrate Sarah's birthday, I also want to acknowledge all the farmers’ wives who are the backbone of so many farms across Australia.

Sarah, I am so incredibly lucky to have you beside me. Thank you for your love, your strength, your patience, your support, and for everything you do for this farm and our family.

Happy 50th birthday. We love you. ❤️

And to all the farmers’ wives out there. Thank you. Farming would not be the same without you.

Oh, this pic is taken at Blackbird Restaurant Melbourne with our very own Black Garlic on the menu! It was AMAZING!

While most sensible people are inside with a hot cuppa, our team is out in the paddocks planting the next crop. Wet boots. Cold fingers. Mud everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE!

The vegetables don't stop growing because it's raining, and the weeds certainly don't stop either! So rain, hail or shine, there is always something happening here at Volcano Produce. Planting, harvesting, weeding, washing, packing orders, stocking the farm shop, and getting fresh produce ready for our customers.

Farming is both incredibly hard and incredibly rewarding. One moment you're battling wind and rain, and the next you're standing in a paddock watching a perfect sunrise over rows of healthy crops you've nurtured from seed.

Those challenging days make the good days even better.

Every bunch of broccoli, every leek, every carrot and every strawberry that leaves this farm has a story behind it. A story of early mornings, muddy boots, sore backs, and people who genuinely care about growing food the right way. The hard way! No pesticides. No herbicides.

So while you're staying warm and dry, spare a thought for the farmers out there keeping food on Australian tables.

And if you're enjoying fresh, local produce this winter, know that somewhere, someone was probably standing in the rain to make it happen.

Our farm shop is now open EVERYDAY
- Mon - Sat 10:30am to 5pm
- Sun 11am - 4pm

No markets for us this weekend but our Farm Shop is OPEN EVERYDAY!!

The rain is falling, the wind is blowing, and winter is definitely here! Guess what!!! It's the perfect time for a nice warm bowl of homemade Pumpkin and Leek soup! Only $3 cup or $6 Bowl - fantastic value!

Made with our own spray-free, farm-grown produce and cooked the old-fashioned way. No shortcuts. Just wholesome ingredients, plenty of flavour, and the kind of comfort food that warms you right through to your boots.

While you're here, stock up on some of the amazing winter produce that is coming off the farm right now. The frosts and cool weather have our broccoli, broccolini, cabbages, leeks, carrots, beetroot and other winter vegetables tasting better than ever.
