My Local Makers Market is coming back to Freemans Reach Cafe! 🌿☕️

📅 Sunday 25th October
⏰ 9am–2pm
📍 444 Kurmond Road, Freemans Reach

Come along and discover some of the incredible talent we have right here in our local community — local artists, handmade items, unique gifts, plants, treats and more! 🤎

I’m also looking for more local makers, artists and creatives who would love a platform to share and sell their amazing work. Whether you’re just starting out, or a senior who’s been doing it for years!

This market is all about supporting local, small businesses and giving talented people in our community a place to be seen. 🌿

If you’d love to have a stall, send Freemans Reach Cafe a message and tell me a little about what you make.

Please share and tag a talented local who should be part of it! 🤎☕️🌿

Confidence is a farce.

You do all these things they say to do to feel more of it. But it has to come from within.

This is my first time putting myself out there, as a small cafe owner. The cafe tends to struggle when I do, as I am a hands on business owner, and many people have said “you need to put yourself out there more!” And I’ve been thinking you know what? They are right.

I took this photo to send to my bestie as I felt pretty cool receiving a third finalist for outstanding cafe, in under 3 years. She was so proud she even posted it on her own page 🤣

Its been weeks and I have been thinking as to why I am too afraid to post it online for my customers to share the same joy and pride with me, or anything really, such as my hospitality journey and my absolute love for making food for others.

Anyways, here it is, my third finalist award for a brand spanking new business in under 3 years, and my first time putting myself ‘out there’ (or is it out here? Who knows🤣)

I will be sharing my journey to this third award over this week, as I start to feel more confident and proud. This cafe is my heart and soul, and along with my team I can’t wait to really reflect that properly, for the first time, with confidence 🙂

To my regulars that have stuck around from the start, and gone through every wave with me, you are my cafe family now and that will never change. I can’t wait for what’s coming, and this time I say it and mean it, with confidence 😘

🥹🥹 I am so proud of this little place I’ve created, to be able to give others opportunities to shine makes it even more worth it. This is what hospitality really truly is.

Thankyou all for coming along for the journey, and my team for adding more value to our cafe than I ever dreamed possible!

And Emma, thankyou for the beautiful words. Very greatful for you!

Big shout out to Natalie from Freemans Reach Cafe 🥰🌱

Not only does she open her wonderful Cafe on a sporadic Sunday morning for my Produce Swaps and Seedling Sales, but she also hosts the monthly Freemo Market and has local businesses on show throughout her Cafe every day of the week 🫶🏻✨️ she never asks for anything in return, only hopes to build the community.

This powerhouse woman and her beautiful small team are so warm and welcoming. Their hot chocolates, coffees, sweets, breakfasts, and lunches are delicious! She makes the best almond milk hot chocolates!

She was the first person to reach out and offer her space when I found out I couldn't have my own farm gate stall here at home back in 2025.

Thank you for everything Nat 💚 x

You are amazing!
