A week of hard graft...




The cafe renovations took place this week and we'd just like to say a big thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and energy in what was a week of extremely hard work. As you can see, it was all hands on deck to strip, paint and decorate the cafe when some enthusiastic Volunteers from Dunedin Canmore kindly donned their overalls and picked up their paintbrushes. It was a busy but productive day when around 20 Dunedin employees visited the farm and helped with everything from rigging up a new IT system to making curtains to shovelling manure!

It was all hands on deck amongst the farm staff too, and everyone put in the hours to make sure the cafe was ready by Saturday. Friday night saw the farm's general manager making a late night dash to the shops to get Pizza and Beer in a bid to keep the troops happy! Without everyone's sheer dedication to the task at hand there's no way the cafe would have been completed on time. It was a tough week, but we're thrilled with the results and would again like to extend our thanks to everyone involved.
