About Us
We established The Olde Creamery in 2016, after purchasing our home and working together to create our dream. Now we welcome you to come and stay in our own patch of paradise. We have a passion for food, creativity and gardening, which together work to create the oasis that The Olde Creamery is. We look forward to meeting you when you visit us at The Olde Creamery!
TIMELINE
A short story about The Olde Creamery
Our ethic and vision for our company is simple…. contentment!
To us both it was important that the goal we set at the beginning was to deliver contentment, firstly to ourselves and to our customer base. To ourselves this means we continually work towards creating a diverse product range which eventually will allow us both to work for ourselves, whilst fulfilling both our passions/interests and career aspirations.
To our customers it means producing the best products we can so that when you buy a jar of our relish, not only does it tase amazing – you know that you are supporting a small local business with a small supply chain beneath us! The same applies to our Dahlia plants, we grow each one as if we were planting it in our own garden! Doing everything we can to ensure each tuber/plant continues to WOW bloom by bloom, year by year!
Our farm is joining the growing network of local micro flower farms in Australia, who, as collective now bring to the market an abundance and diversity of Australian Grown seasonal flowers. This reduces the number of flowers being imported from overseas (cold stored for several months, fumigated/preserved with numerous chemicals and sometimes artificially scented/coloured), and the significant carbon footprint imported flowers create is immense.
Purchasing from small scale passionate farmers, you will soon experience the difference this delivers. Blooms that will last longer in your home and plants that will be stronger and better acclimatised to our climates. Additionally, your purchase helps to support the economy of your local communities.
We care about the footprint we leave as a business and where possible have implemented sustainable practices into our business model. This includes not only using offset carbon emissions through our preferred shipping partner, but also through a monthly donation to Greening Australia (equivalent to our grid drawn average electricity usage). All our packaging has been carefully selected to ensure that it can be either biodegraded, composted, or recycled. This even includes our sticky tape and packaging noodles.
If this wasn’t enough! We also provide education and support to the community through our workshop presentations, online forums and individually through our after sales discussions.
We hope that a purchase from us, leaves you as “contented” as we do producing it!
Thank you for your support.
