Pastured & Co is one of the only cafes in the area that are very conscious about offering an allergy-friendly variety for kids and adults with nut, egg and dairy free options. What makes the cafe special is the destination -while casually dining you are surrounded by spacious greenery, 100-year-old giant fig trees and wild kangaroos just meters away. The kids are safe to play on the large grass area while mum and dad relax.

Friday Hut Market began as an experiment, offering small jars of honey to strangers on the roadside. Over time, the mutual trust grew and the demand from passersby caught up with supply from their smallholding of hives. Now, they work closely with more friends and keepers from across the region to offer small batches of raw bush honey and beeswax. Friday Hut Market is especially passionate about working with young beekeepers, to help ensure that bees thrive and natural pollination continues into the future. By supporting responsible keepers you help strengthen colonies of Australia's precious pollinators.
