COVID strikes again. 😟
Looks like 2021 ain’t going to be our year. But the silver lining is that you can still support local farmers by ordering their produce via @scenicrimfarmbox

We’re preparing for Saturday’s Winter Harvest

We’re preparing for Saturday’s Winter Harvest Festival @eatlocalweek . We reckon Ben’s guns will help our tractor pulling team over the line in record time, supported by team mates like Mick, Jackson and Griff … and Angus (he’s hiding in the tractor 🚜).
Come down to Aratula on the 3rd for a day of food, drink, cooking demos and live music. We’ll be selling fresh produce, fresh veggie juice and Annie’s amazing carrot cake. 🥕
Can’t wait. @visitscenicrim @destinationscenicrim

Carrot Day Cancelled. Ticket holders please check

Carrot Day Cancelled. Ticket holders please check your email for an event update. Sadly the rain forecast for Friday and Saturday will make it too muddy and difficult to proceed with our Carrot Day. We will be refunding tickets. Be sure to come see us at the @eatlocalweek Winter Harvest Festival on July 3.

FOR THE RECORD, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🌱

There's been rather a lot of interest in a crop that's growing on the side of the highway near our Kalbar HQ.
We want to assure you that while it looks very similar to an illegal plant, what we're growing is in fact hemp.
Kalfresh's Robert Hinrichsen, is growing this cover crop of hemp, or Cannabis Junica, for human consumption.
It will be harvested for the high-protein seed which is packed with Omega-3 and Omega-6.
The remainder of the plant will be cut back into the soil to improve soil health and cleanse the pathogens in the soil naturally.
Rob explains it like this:
"We often grow a cover crop in between our vegetable crops. We choose a non-vegetable plant so we don't get disease and pests that our vegetable crops do to give the environment a break from those things.
"Hemp is a natural killer of bacteria so it will help suppress disease in the soil.
"This hemp is a cultivar that has had the THC bred out of it. It's very high in plant-based protein and is a fast crop. It's 100 days from planting to harvest, which is very similar to vegetables so it fits our rotation well.
"When they harvest the seed we'll end up with vegetation on the ground which will be worked back into the soil."

And just a reminder that the crop is on private property (and on the side of a very busy road) so please don't pull over to sample. 😁

Look at these little cuties, they’re not so little anymore.
Here’s a flashback to our 2013 Carrot Day. The day has grown in size but the concept remains the same - good wholesome fun for carrot fans of all ages with a generous serve of mud and millions of carrots.
