New Shoes

Late last January we were informed by email that we had been nominated for the Vogue Entertaining +Travel Produce Awards and should deliver a selection of our eggs and veg to two top Melbourne chefs for judging.

A couple of weeks later we were informed again by email that we had been shortlisted and to send a selection of our produce to Sydney to be judged by two more top Australian chefs.
This was in late February and we had just had an increadibly close shave with a bushfire.

In March we sent heirloom carrots, potatoes, beetroot leaves, beetroots, eggs, garlic and shallots to Hamilton Island for the Award finalists and winners photo shoot.





And here are the new shoes I bought yesterday and will be lucky enough to wear next Monday to the Award ceremony.

I love that your shoes are as colourful as your produce. Even if you don't win you'll look beautiful and I'm sure you'll have an amazing time. But I wish you the best of luck anyway.

Sorry, but luck has nothing to do with it. The judges know that, and I know that. I'd put it down to passion, and an obsession with soil enrichment.
