Arriving back from Launceston at 1 AM on Thursday morning certainly compressed the process of setting up and labeling boxes (apologies for this week’s rather substandard labeling…), collecting, portioning and packing produce, and delivering boxes (both to our home for pick up and to all our delivery customers.)
Mr & Mrs BB put in a big night of packing last night, and Miss (who was off for swot vac) and Pop BB were invaluable this morning finishing off the last minute packing items and loading boxes for deliveries… it’s worth remembering to thank your lucky stars sometimes that you’re surrounded by people who you can rely on to pull it all together; family, our extended family of growers who provide us with beautiful produce each week, and even the cast of extras (for instance, without the support of SRT logstics, Tasmania’s biggest refrigerated transport company, we’d never be able to bring you the range of produce we do each week!). And Kristy Dowsing Photography ought to get a mention for capturing the essence of each week’s box so beautifully!
