Jill Passed The Test
Yesterday was a milestone day for our family. We traveled to Warrnambool early in the morning so that Jill could sit her Australian Citizenship Test and she passed with flying colours! We celebrated in a very Aussie way enjoying meat pies with sauce by the ocean.
Jill has dreamt of this moment for well over a decade and we can now move forward as a family with a lot more certainty about the future. 2026 will be another huge year for us as we look to purchase a small farm for our family and business. We are very grateful to have this stressful period finished and look forward to the rest of our lives together in beautiful Australia.
Our produce is available year round at Food For Thought in Mount Gambier as well as Willow & Bean in Portland who also feature our produce on their menu.
We also supply produce to the Bayside Cafe in Portland and the Nelson Hotel.

Notes From The Garden
At Rainbow OMG we recognise the centuries long tradition of Moon Planting. In short the different phases of the Moon correspond to growth in in different parts of plants with about 7 days for each phase. The order is Leaf, Fruit/Flower, Root and Stop. We find this cycle an excellent tool for planning and scheduling of all the regular tasks needed for a functional farm.
We are currently in a Stop week and have been focusing a lot on tidying up in general and all rigmarole around Jill’s test. Today we will be sorting and bagging up our Garlic harvest which has now cured.
