Thankyou for loyal support of Frank, Food & Me.
It has been a massive year, with the birth of my little boy Art, and the dropping back with wholesale production to focus on our boutique production for the farmers’ markets.
Ironically, just when I thought things would get more difficult with a child in tow, I really feel that we have re-focussed the vision of Frank, Food & Me, and got back to the roots a bit!
Whilst I haven’t been at all the markets, while I was getting used to being a mum, I wanted to thank you for your continued support, and I hope I’ll see you in the lead up to Christmas.
It might seem too early to be even considering Christmas again, but I have to let you in on a secret!
Due to the floods this year, it was one of the skinniest harvests on record for the Mildura fruit growing region, a third of what they usually harvest.
Not only very disappointing for our dear ol’ farmers, but also for Frank, Food & Me. We love making our puddings, and we love that last year you loved them! But given that there is no way we will use overseas imports… I wanted to let you know that the orders are coming in thick and fast, and I don’t want you to miss out.
We managed to get our hands on as much fruit as we could from our local family farmers, and have been soaking it for weeks now!
… we have tweaked our recipe, and we reckon that this year’s pudd is even better than last years!
