It’s our final week of Masons-At-Home and our co

It’s our final week of Masons-At-Home and our collaboration with George and his team at B&B Basil as we begin plans for a re-open on the 26th of October. To say we are excited to see dine-in in the near future is a little bit of an understatement!
George’s Meal Kits will continue in the future with me taking a smaller role in consultation as his team takes on the hands-on role of preparations in George’s newly built kitchen on farm – I’m not sure when George sleeps but he’s always working around the clock to continue to build a more resilient and strong business. If there’s any feedback or suggestions you’d like to share with us regarding the kits, please send me a DM or comment below. Your feedback is really valued, especially when designing and implementing new things.
We’ve created some new goodies for Meal Kit #7 and you’ll find all details and ordering on the Bendigo Community Farmers Market online store via the link in our bio. 👆 I’d like to say a huge thanks to Chris, the BCFM committee and Laurie at The Good Loaf for allowing us to be a part of the market family for a few weeks – we’re so grateful to have had this opportunity and thank you! It’s allowed our team more hours and inspired many collaborations and flavours which has supported many regional producers. Please continue to order via the BCFM online store and opt in for home delivery where possible as this is your way of supporting further local employment and a stronger local food system.
It’s been a joy to prepare and pack so many different dishes over the last weeks with Masons-At-Home – we have all learnt an incredible amount and thank all of you who have purchased, enjoyed and shared on social media your special moments at home. We look forward to welcoming you again for dine-in but for the meantime, our last Masons-At-Home menu is now available to order online via the link in our bio. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a vegetarian option this week and appreciate your understanding.
Many thanks and we look forward to cooking and presenting you food such as the one in the pic,
Team Masons x

B&B Basil Meal Kit #5 – what a ripper!

This week we’ve taken George’s Meal Kit and added a Masons' touch, along with some of our local favourites.

Ordering one of these kits helps support so many of us – enjoy the flavours of our region whilst supporting our local businesses; what a win!

Meal Kits are designed for 2 people and this week includes 9 tastes.
Head to the B&B Basil Meal Kit #5 option via the link in our bio 👆 for full menu details. (too much info for this post!)
Kits are $84 per box and ordering is via the Bendigo Community Farmers Market online store - link in our bio. Orders close midnight Tuesday 28th September.

Whilst online, add a bottle of local wine from Black Estate to your cart or some craft beers from Castlemaine friends @shedshakerbrewing who have been impacted by the restrictions in hospitality trade.
And if you don’t feel comfortable shopping in town, have it delivered to your door by Bec from the @bendigofarmersmarket . Your option to select home delivery results in employing a local – that is really cool!

Have a suggestion or craving? Let us know and we'll try and work it into future kits!

Thanks again for supporting local; it's truly appreciated. 🙏😊

I cannot tell you how much of a POSITIVE impact your purchases make each week and I’m hoping you’re loving preparing and enjoying them as much as George loves growing them.

It wasn’t quite the easing of restrictions we were hoping for; only 10 people to dine-in does not fit into a financially viable business model for us so we’re grateful to be able to continue providing happiness through our Masons-At-Home offering over this weekend and we’ll re-assess over the coming days for next week.
There are still some pre-orders available for Masons-At-Home for this Friday and Saturday as well as our sourdough and smoked miso butter so please consider supporting us this weekend! 🙏
