We’re back in the garden! 🪏

We’re hoping to learn a bit more about succession planting this season, but for now, it’s all about tidying up, prepping the soil and getting those all-important tomatoes in.
It’s looking like a hot one ahead, so we’ve been working on improving our watering systems and laying plenty of straw to help keep the soil moist through the warmer months.
Here’s to another season of growing, learning and getting a little more from our own backyard.

Happy gardening! 🧑‍🌾

A long weekend, a bit of sun (maybe rain) and a bowl of seafood chowder. Sounds pretty good to us. 🤎

We’re open tomorrow for the public holiday, so if you’re out and about, pop in and get cosy at the Diner.

A little appreciation post for our Echo 🤎☕️

Over 5 years of great coffee, big smiles and keeping the Federal team running smoothly. As our front of house manager, Echo brings so much to the team, and we’re pretty lucky to have her.

Always smiling, always looking after everyone, and always making a bloody good coffee. We love you, Echo ❤️❤️❤️

The sun’s out, people! ☀️
Coffee in hand, lunch on the table, sunshine pouring in. Sounds like a pretty good excuse to pop in.
