A spicy comeback ~ We know we're not the only ones who've been lamenting the lack of Wood Duck Spice in our life. But -- oh happy day! -- these vibrant spice blends are BACK on Saturday! The greatest kitchen hack ever 🤫

Get on down to the lovely Devonport Farmers Market today!

Wood Duck is still a wee bit feeble so she isn't there yet BUT she promises the next one will have Wood Duck Spice there in person, not just in spirit!
If you are in desperate need - pop into Squibb's Orchard Shop on your way home from the market - not only do they have a selection of Wood Duck offerings, they are also having a Stocktake Sale so you will get them at a discount!

Winter Solstice has been marked by Nico Marans (my enigmatic little black hen- she’s ever so French) with the first egg of the season!
Bravo Nico!

It's Devonport Farmers Market day! Lots of wonderful things to see and buy and a lovely outing on a soggy day.
Unfortunately Wood Duck is a bit poorly still, but she is getting stronger every day and cannot wait to see you all again ASAP. If you are running low on some of your favourites I do appologise - perhaps you could nip into Squibb's Orchard Shop or Shearwater Deli and Meats on your way home from the market and pick up something - they have a some of the range. I PROMISE I will be back on deck soon and you will be able to restock with delicious blends and sprinkles, hot chocolate and cordials and it will be like this never happened.

Devonport Farmers Market is GO!
And we’ve got pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins!
Grab some Wood Duck Spice Moroccan, Gulyas, or one of the curries and make some delicious Autumn soup!
If you want to be super fancy - cook it in the pumpkin!
We’ve also got hot chocolate mix, beautiful organic cordial syrups (Mum would live a drop of that in her G&T) everyone’s favourite Chip Sprinkles and of course ‘Just as Easy Sauce’ to get those end of season tomatoes into the relish and sauce you love!

As the photo tax - here is the pumpkin & rocket pasta we had at Wood Duck HQ last night. Pumpkin and onion were tossed in Cajun spice and a splash of olive oil and roasted before topping the fresh pasta.
