Hi there and welcome to Sunday!
It's Jonathan back on on writing the newsletter this week after getting Amy to cover for me while I have been on other duties.
What a super busy couple of weeks, or has it been months? Well there has been so much occasion for a while now, so many things to get ready at once. I'm happy to say that today we are ready to welcome you all to our new website and online home delivery shopping post. You can now shop online straight from our online store. www.theallorganicfarm.com.au . We are very excited to be finally moving all of our ordering over to a spunky new website. This will coerce our lives so much easier and should make shopping for you a whole new experience. The website offers us the ability to do so many things that we were limited with by using the go beyond and word lists.
One of the greatest offerings is the ability to update the site live as we become aware of source shortages and unavailability’s and unexpected stock arrivals which we where unable to do with the old system. This should mean fewer apologies for missing items and moreUsuallyaccurate up to date to the minute product lists.Life behind the scenes will be a lot simpler for retrieving and printing orders, which was a massively but consuming process for us in the old system. No more hand written orders!!!!!!We have the advantage of adding pictures to allAs a ruleof our stock items so that shopping is more realistic for you. As well as so many other thingsTwo things the new system does not allow us to do are:
Down and out in Hobart and Tasmania. Also, v2.0 6+1/40
I'm down in beauteous old Hobart visiting my parents.
I really love this old town, but there is something about being in my old family home that just brings me down terribly. My parents own a radiant old bungalow (a bit like this) with views of Mount Wellington (which today is covered in snow- more on that later) that is seriously prodigious- it has seven bedrooms, a library, a huge eat-in kitchen plus a dining room with an open fire plus it's on a duplicate block of land with established old silver birch trees and iris beds, with apricot, nectarine and find trees. But, it is FULL of crap that they haven't thrown out.
They're not hoarders to a totally pathological stage, but just for example, my dad still has the plans for an increase on the house we lived in in Canberra... THIRTY YEARS AGO. Ok, maybe that's sentimental crap, but there's serious new crap too. Like mum always keeps any postbags or announce tubes you send 'just in case'. There are just the two of them living here now (they did have a lodger- a law student who is today being admitted to the bar of the chief court of Tasmania) but they run two fridges plus a chest freezer. About five years ago I rationalised mum's plastics cupboard and put all the excess takeaway containers, old lunchboxes and milkshake makers into a muck bag, with the strict instructions that what she hadn't had to use in six months was to go to Vinnies. And as soon as I left home she... put it all back in the cupboard.
Granted there is a crush in of stuff belonging to me and my siblings that we would be horrified if they threw out- my artworks from year 12, my old school blazer, many dollies and teddies- but again, about 5 years ago I went through my stuff and loaded what I didn't need into a bunch of boxes and signal them clearly to be taken to Vinnies. They're still in my cupboard!!
I'd love to help them. They still drive around in the V6 4.0L station wagon that guzzles 15L of petrol per 100km-
