To our wonderful supporters!
After two huge years, we have made the difficult decision to put production at our little Three Mile Kitchen into hiatus. We’re not quite sure when, or if we’ll be back.
Of late, we have been at a bit of a loss as to where to focus the business in the future. We’ve swung wildly from notions of opening a cafe in town, a garden-to-table cafe at our little property just out of town, a little nook in the corner of someone else’s shop, or just continuing as we are...all of which seem both exciting and terrifying. The current model has us both working two jobs, and just generally not looking after ourselves or our little farm very well. I’m not ready to give up ED nursing in the foreseeable future, which means there’s no real light at the end of the tunnel for rectifying our work-life balance...and we are always conscious of how fleeting life is.
The process of learning to make beautiful pastry, all the failures and the small victories, have taught us so much about ourselves, each other, and what we’re capable of as individuals and as a team. We have been overwhelmed by the support and demand for our produce, and have found the relationships formed with our customers the most satisfying of all. Thank you so much for all the support over the last couple of years, we have appreciated all of the kind words, gifting of local produce, constructive feedback, and drooling emojis more than we can explain.
This hiatus will find us returning to our aspirations of living the quiet agrarian life that we had imagined when we moved to Beechworth in 2014...immersed in the garden, walks in the hills, noses in books, cooking, baking, brewing, preserving, and bottomless pots of tea. In the meantime, I intend to continue to use this page to document life on our little plot in the hills, so stay tuned if that sounds like your bag, and we very much hope to see you soon. X 📸by 🍽 by
