From the moment we arrived it felt like we were amongst friends although many of us had never met. Greta, Jo and Georgia were a wealth of knowledge and the converstaion was effortless. Once back from the garden we all had a chance to create beautiful dishes that I have since cooked for friends 3 times in the last week! With the background of the mountains and beautiful homestead it was truly a magnificent day. Jo shared many interesting things relating to nutrition and health and I look forward to going again for one of the Hormonal Workshops. What a wonderful way to spend a day ladies..Thank you!

Big Prawn

Reviewed By M7025NQtonyw - Sydney, Australia

They really grow the prawns up in the Richmond River and at $35 a kilo for king prawns it’s worth a fortune. Seriously it’s big, it’s gaudy and so typically Australian. It’s brilliant and worth going to Bunnings for.
