Fair Food and Meat. Joe Sgro, MasterChef and Deep Purple….potatoes.
We are getting our logistics and website ready at Fair Food to begin selling meat. Eating meat is a big deal; as a kid I’ll always remember the quiet, slightly regretful mood that came over my dad and uncles when they home-killed a sheep. The same feeling was cemented in me when I worked as […]
A house full of wwoofers & a ute load of kiwis. Cheese, bees & pruning trees.
