Hand-cut quandong stones or seeds for craft-work or cultivating. These have all been hand-cut so there is no blemishes on the stones at all. Quandongs are a native to Australia, they prosper in a hot dry climate. Many of the quandong stones are now machine cut to get the fruit off the stone, this often impacts on the stone themselves with cut marks. All stones that I have available have been carefully hand-cut. -

WILD HARVESTED AUSTRALIAN PEPPERBERRIES HOT CHILLI FLAVOUR
These amazing little dried black Pepperberries pack a really "really" hot chilli punch
So many times when I've been giving cooking demo's or talking about natives and sending around samples for people to smell and try, I advise not to eat the pepperberries straight out and what happens, of course, there's always someone!...and then I'm treated to the drama of watering eyes and a hand trying to fan out a burning mouth. These little guys are really hot hot hot, it firsts hits on the tip of your tongue which goes numb...good party trick I guess if you're feeling that way with your friends, but saying that, the benefits of having pepperberries in your pantry to create a bit of Australian native bushfood heat are they are great for your health, taste fantastic and go with any dish, what's not to like? -

LEMON MYRTLE A WILD AUSTRALIAN NATIVE HERB
Botanical painting by Marina Albert -
There are many species of native mint in the Australian natives, they are all wild-harvested. Some, like River Mint have a strong spearmint taste and aroma, whereas the Round-leaf or Bush Mint is more like your traditional mint with a slight aromatic edge. The early settlers used Australian native mints to make mint sauce for their Sunday roast lamb. This native bushfood herb is just as versitile as the traditional mints and can be replaced by them, use a little until you get used to the strong minty flavour. OutbackChef's Wild Mint & Lavender Tea is a perfect way to enjoy a quiet cuppa in the afternoon, made with Australian grown green tea and beautifully packaged this tea makes a wonderful gift for someone special. -

Australian Tea
Lemon Myrtle & Orange is the sweet simplicity of a perfect match, an Australian superfood in a cup!
I think most people are familiar with the strong punchy flavours of Lemon myrtle, but used with a little discretion this robust flavour can be gentle as well, it has a calming influence with its “orange” cousin and add some Australian grown black tea and this combo is ready to go. When you feel like the familiar flavours of citrus and a great cuppa to boot, then this tea ticks all the boxes. It’s an extremely popular tea for all ages and any time of day, enjoy a quite cuppa with some “just me” time or make a big pot for friends. This tea also makes a great iced tea, make it as usual then chill straight away, don’t over-brew, once chilled add sweetener to taste. We grown our Lemon myrtle at the Wild Food Farm, use Australian grown oranges which we dry at the Farm as well for use and of course we use the best Australian grown black tea, this is a true celebration of a great tasting tea. -
