Food Security – A Cautionary Tale
On the unfortunate events of the past week… This past week, pig farmers across the Mid North Coast received some devastating news – our local abattoir, Eversons Food Processors at Frederickton, have decided to stop processing pigs.

Yep, I’m writing this post about my favourite things for a natural Second Trimester…. on my due date! Oops. Suffice to say, life has been pretty busy.
