Aren't People Grand !!!!

  Over the passed weekend ,Country Valley sponsored an exhibit at the Camden Country Show. We gave  some local stall holders the opportunity to present their goods to the wider community. The weather was perfect, and a huge crowd turned out for the Friday and Saturday event.
   Country Valley made milkshakes to give our show goers a treat that many of them had almost forgotten about...cold ,creamy milk, icecream and their favourite flavouring. The response was overwhelming for my very dedicated assistants. Crowds of people and  huge plaudits for THEIR  service and for "The Milk". Along with the shakes, we  tried to highlight our award winning LUSH  yoghurt (Champion Yoghurt 2011 Sydney Royal Show). I must have presented  tens  of litres of yoghurt to anyone silly enough to listen to my story of  our 2 ladies working almost without  mechanical intervention. Stirring, carrying and scooping yoghurt all day.
  Let me say , it was a real pleasure to interact with so many of our customers and prospective customers. Everyone took on board the Country Valley story, and they gave so much positive feedback on our  products that I'm set for ideas at the next 10 management meetings...thank you all very much.
   In my spare time ( after milk and yoghurt)  I presented  some cheese samples  from 2 very small producers.  Most people had not heard of the companies... HIGHLAND ORGANICS  from Moss Vale and  SMALL COW FARM  from Robertson on the southern highlands.  Highland Organics  make a variety of firm cheeses very well suited to any plate at any table. Cheeses  such as Pecorino, Tomme and a beautiful Pepper cheese proved crowd  favourites while Small Cow Farm  produced some of the very best soft mould cheeses I have had the pleasure to put on my table. A lush Camembert and a "Wicked Blue" that had cheese experts across the showground  licking their  collective lips.
   Once again the response from the public was GREAT... people took advantage of the opportunity  to try (and enjoy) a range of cheeses that they have never seen,  even though they were ALL produced less than 1 hour away from the showground. Almost everyone  picked their individual favourite  and  either bought a block or took contact details of where they can buy some.Wollondilly Farmgate Online, Local produce online - you can taste ...    
   There is something about giving  service and receiving praise from strangers. People are basically good at heart and most recognise and appreciate hard work. To all those people who came in and talked to me or the girls on the stall, I say "thank you"  and ... keep up the GOOD FOOD   fight.
