Most people think farming is all sunshine, fresh air and beautiful vegetables.

What they don't see is the constant pressure from the Farm Supervisor.

Take poor Jacob for example.

He arrived at work expecting a normal day.

Instead, he found himself under the watchful eye of Winnie (Farm Supervisor).

The task seemed simple enough.

Dig a hole.

Unfortunately, every shovel full was met with expert commentary.

"Bit shallow."

"I've buried tennis balls deeper than that."

"Are you digging a hole or planting a seed?"

"At this rate we'll be finished by Christmas."

To be fair, Winnie does have extensive excavation experience. She has personally dug hundreds of holes throughout her career, although most were for purposes that remain classified.

Despite receiving no assistance whatsoever from his supervisor, Jacob persevered.

Meanwhile Winnie remained laser-focused on quality control from her strategic observation post.

Eventually the hole reached a depth deemed acceptable.

Winnie nodded in approval, stood up, stretched, and headed off for a well-earned nap in front of the fire.

Jacob was unavailable for comment.

Winnie's Workplace Wisdom: "If you can't be part of the solution, sit nearby and supervise." – Winnie

"I see your snack there. Think you can eat that without me?" – also Winnie

BIG BEETROOT, BIG VALUE! Only $3/kg!!

Some people see oversized beetroot. We see family-sized beetroot! Don't let their size fool you!

We've got some absolutely massive beetroot available right now. A lot of people assume that large beetroot must be tough, woody, or fibrous, but that's simply not true.

Beetroot only becomes woody when it starts to go to seed. These beauties haven't gone to seed, which means they're still sweet, tender, and packed full of flavour. In fact, many people find the larger beetroot easier to work with because there's so much delicious flesh to use.

What can you do with oversized beetroot?

❤️ Roast it in chunks with olive oil and herbs.
❤️ Make a rich, earthy beetroot soup.
❤️ Grate it into salads for colour and sweetness.
❤️ Turn it into beetroot dip or hummus.
❤️ Pickle it for sandwiches and burgers.
❤️ Juice it with apples and carrots.
❤️ Bake it into chocolate beetroot cake.
❤️ Slice it into chips and roast until crispy.
❤️ Add it to slow-cooked casseroles and winter roasts.

Beetroot is also loaded with antioxidants, folate, fibre, and natural nitrates that can help support circulation and exercise performance.

These giant beetroot offer fantastic value because one beet can feed the whole family.

Available now from Volcano Produce Farm Shop, weekend markets, and online orders - www.volcanoproduce.com.au

Ahhh. Winter Leeks!! Thick white stems, deep green tops, and that beautiful mild onion flavour that makes cold weather cooking what it should be.

Jacob has been flat out washing some absolute monsters this week and honestly… these are some of the best leeks we’ve grown. Big, clean, sweet and packed with flavour thanks to the cold winter conditions. Frost and slow growth do wonderful things to winter vegetables.

If you’ve never cooked much with leeks, now is the time. They are one of the most underrated vegetables around.

Perfect for:
• Potato & leek soup
• Slow cooked casseroles
• Quiches and pies
• Creamy pasta dishes
• Roasted with olive oil and garlic
• Added into mash potatoes
• Stir fries and risottos
• Or simply pan fried in butter until soft and sweet

Leeks bring a rich savoury flavour without overpowering a dish, and they make winter comfort food next level.

And unlike supermarket produce that can sit around for ages, these were in the ground only days ago. Fresh, spray free, and grown properly in healthy soil. You can taste the difference immediately.

You can grab our leeks this weekend at:
📍Port Fairy Farmers Market — Saturday
📍The Fresh Market Warrnambool (Lake Pertobe) — Sunday

Or directly from us every day at our farm shop:
📍626 Princes Hwy Illowa (Tower Hill)

You can also order online at www.volcanoproduce.com.au

Every chook has a personality.

Some are curious.
Some are cheeky.
Some follow you around the yard hoping for treats.
Some simply enjoy sitting nearby while you work in the garden.

One of our favourite parts of raising pullets is watching them grow from tiny fluffy chicks into confident young hens.

By the time they leave our farm, they've been cared for every day and raised with attention that commercial operations simply can't provide.

They're more than egg machines.

They're backyard companions that just happen to provide breakfast as well.

🐔 Raised with care.
🥚 Bred for excellent egg production.
❤️ Ready for their forever homes.

Message us if you're thinking about adding a few girls to your flock.

Available for collection this Saturday from Volcano Produce -Tower Hill between 10am and 11am (order now to secure your girls)

Or collection available from our farm just outside Heywood by appointment.

Some people arrive on our farm with years of experience. Others arrive with almost none… and completely surprise you.

When Shannon first came to Volcano Produce, he was as green as the broccoli he is holding here. To be honest, we didn’t think he would last more than a week. Farming has a way of testing people very quickly. Early mornings. Mud. Rain. Wind. Heat. Long days. Hard work.

But Shannon just kept turning up.

He listened. He learned. He worked hard. And before long he became someone we could rely on completely. Nothing seemed to bother him. No complaints. No fuss. Just a smile, a good attitude, and a willingness to give things a go.

In a world where reliability is becoming rare, Shannon has been an absolute blessing to our farm.

We are incredibly grateful for everything he has done here and proud of the young man he has become. Soon he will be heading off to join the Army, and while we will genuinely miss having him around the farm, we know he has a bright future ahead of him.

God often places people in our lives at exactly the right time, and Shannon was definitely one of those people for us.

We pray that God watches over him, strengthens him, and guides his path wherever life takes him next.

Thankyou Shannon. You’ve earned our respect, our trust, and our gratitude.

From all of us here at Volcano Produce.
