Welcome to our June monthly events-only edition!

June (and winter) is here! Time to trade your beach towels and barbecues for beanies and mulled wine. But don’t worry, the events are still hot. 😉 

June is packed with unforgettable events, and we’ve rounded up the very best!

(And don’t worry — we’ll still send weekly updates with reminders and even more new events!)

Let’s get to it.

🐄 Looking for a local farmer?

We love shopping local, but can’t seem to find any farms in the Shire…. The next best thing? Farmer to Fridge. It’s an online platform connecting small family farms and consumers.

We’ve been buying from them for over a year now because the meat is amazing and it’s a great option to support farmers directly.

From the main page (here) pop in your postcode to see what farms deliver to you and then go shopping!

You can choose smaller “Try & See” mystery boxes (about 5kg of meat) to get a taste of the deliciousness, or order custom bulk boxes of steaks or mince.

If the freezer is ready, you can order 1/8, 1/4, or even half a cow (or lamb, or pork)

It’s a great place to support our farmers!!! Check out farms delivering to you here.

**Links are affiliate links, and we may get a small commission if you choose to buy anything. This commission does not change the fact that we wholeheartedly support this platform and will support local farmers the best we can. Happy eating!!!!

Bringing together the brightest stars from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Australia’s most iconic comedy tour is delivering top-tier humour straight to The Pavilion. This year’s line-up includes Jake Howie (host), Ben Kochan, Brett Blake, Bronwyn Kuss and Ting Lim.
