A view from the end of the beginning. My old family farm in Waikaretu valley. This is the land of my father, my fathers father. It seems only fitting that today we returned my fathers ashes to the land that he loved, that I love. Farewell my father, good journey, safe passage, may the spirits of our ancestors ferry you safely to the beyond. #rip #jrblomfield (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz7VPgqgv7R/?igshid=1c7qmkxdz2894

PIES! The golden fields of promise. Starting @piethiefpies has been an emotional roller coaster, so many epic highs, some devastating lows, but if this shit was easy I guess everyone would do it. All for the love of pies, we have served and suffered, weathered troughs and triumphed. I want to thank everyone who has washed a dish, filled a pie, swept a floor, chopped an onion, hugged away a tear, painted a wall, grouted a tile, mopped a floor, or offered the smallest word of encouragement. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a trial, but we are open, healthy, and trading strong. Mad love to all involved, past, present, and future. Special extra kisses go out to a few people, who without whom this would not have happened. @barjosephine @floralfeast @chad_parkhill @matt_f_hobson @jessspooner5116 @mantrastudioyarraville @theconcretersdaughter @knifenforks #pielife (at Pie Thief) https://www.instagram.com/p/BywtFzKA7ZR/?igshid=lnbe2juj7506

A jar of of hope! From our home garden, Ricotto (manzano) Chilli and perilla hot sauce going down for the long nap. I’ll ferment these guys for roughly 3-4 weeks and then hit them with vinegar and rack them for 12 months, allowing time to develop their flavours and mellow the intensity of the vinegar. #slowfood #fermentation #homegrown #chilli #manzano #ricotto #yellow #amarillo #perilla #shiso #melbourne #footscray #food #chillisauce #hotsauce #louisiana #chef #cheflife #cooking #gardening #eating #eatit (at Footscray, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuDe1q8AI7Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ex43jg6s6kos
