👨🌾🚜 Midweek Farm Updates 🚜👨🌾
Hi everyone,
Hope you’re having a great week!
This week is a bit of a special one for us, as we celebrate our first anniversary of the Petrichor Farm Farmgate Stall!! 😁
What an incredible 12 months it has been. I had no idea how things would go when we first started the stall. I remember saying to Lucy, if we had even one customer on that first Sunday, I would be happy. Well to our surprise we had a lot more than one visit us, and the support has just grown…heh…since then! Our offerings were quite limited there at the beginning, with just some leafy greens, radish, bok choy, some citrus and a few little bags of tomatoes. Since then our range has increased significantly and we continue to work to bring more to our amazing customers each week.
Our humble stall began at the entrance to our driveway, under one 6x6 pergola, on a little thin slither of grass next to our bottle tree. One morning, Lucy and I were flat out serving customers and Lucy nudged me and quietly said “look”; I looked up to see that the parking area was completely full and there was a line of customers out onto the driveway! All I could say was “holy s**t” 😂
That’s when I knew we needed a larger space for the stall, which lead us to prepare the space at the old entrance to the property where the stall currently resides. A few weeks after moving to this space, you amazing people filled the carpark again 😂 so I had to expand it further. What an incredible experience having so much support for our little endeavour.
A huge shout out to the stall partners we’ve gained along the way, including Taroma Raw Honey, Wights Blooms and Bloom And Bean as well as our donation partner Everton Park Community Pantry and of course our incredible chefs from Alfreshco Catering and Government House! We love each and every one of you and can’t thank you enough for putting your trust and confidence in us.
Looking forward to the next 12 months we hope to continue to increase our offerings at the stall and hopefully bring on some more stall partners and businesses. If you’d like to see something specific at our stall, or would like to chat with us about your business becoming a part of our Sunday offerings, please reach out.
Our main focus has and will continue to be our Sunday stall and providing the best quality spray free, chemical free, organically grown, locally grown and freshly harvested fruit and vegetables we can to our local community.
Alas, this week we are aiming to stock our stall with:
- Rocket (heaps)

- Mustard Lime
- Sorrel
- Cos Lettuce
- Salad Bowl Lettuce
- Pak Choy
- Golden Chard

- Beautiful honey from Taroma Raw Honey
- Freshly brewed Coffee and delicious breakfast burgers from Bloom and Bean
For those who don’t know, we are open every Sunday from 7:30am - 10:00am at 128 Camp Mountain Road, Samford, and accept cash and card. All our fruit and veggies are grown here on the farm, mostly harvested from 2am the morning of the stall, and handed to you with 0 road miles. We can confidently say, you will not find fresher produce unless you grow it yourself 🙂
Thanks once again to all our customers. It’s been an unbelievable 12 months of serving you and we can’t be more grateful for your love and support 💚❤️
We wish you a great end to the week and hope to see you one Sunday soon up at the stall!
Ben, Lucy and the Petrichor Farm Team
