They Said WHAT About Us?

Becoming part of the Prom Coast Food Collective has allowed me to step away from markets and spend more time on my property; Focusing on product development, streamlining and improving productivity as well as growing produce to a higher environmental and ethical standard. Selling direct to the consumer negates estimating production numbers, in turn bringing a fresher product to the consumer.

My business is Mirboo Pastured Poultry. I raise chickens on pasture to sell as poultry meat. The PCFC has really transformed my business. Having regular orders throughout the month that are prepaid has become the backbone of my sales. The PCFC organises all the marketing and the logistics of distribution. This gives me more time on the farm and more confidence when I am ordering the next batch of day - old chicks to grow out. The introduction of direct home deliveries before the pandemic has allowed sales to boom. Before that I relied mainly on farmers markets and some regular delivery customers. I did have restaurant customers but they never persisted with me.

As a first time producer the collective was a wonderful way to market our hazelnuts.
Everyone was so helpful and it was exciting to receive orders and sell out! Everything was so well organized from communication to packing lists to delivering produce and packing. Can’t wait for our next harvest.

The shortest food chain is direct from our farm gate, and the next best way to feed our customers is through the Prom Coast Food Collective. It has enabled customers to conveniently and regularly access not only our cheese but so much other produce in the same box, without being handled by a third party. Importantly we are able to maintain communication directly with the end consumer.​
