Simson and Co.

12/03/2022

And that, my friends, is a wrap! It really has been an honour to have helped so many of you celebrate great times over the last nearly 6 years! I’d love to hear what your favourite grazes were!
Yesterday was no exception. This was a perfect graze to say farewell to Simson and Co. I hope they all had a wonderful afternoon/night celebrating the wonderful couple.
Amazing desserts, once again, by the one and only .made . 😍
A huge thanks to Jane for helping me set this graze up- we did not stop!!
And Thankyou to my mum for putting together the beautiful flowers from her garden, as well as the edible flowers 🥰 (I said it was the last time… but we all know I will ask again😝😂🥰)
And lastly a huge thankyou to all of you ❤️ I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to create these grazes- and it has purely been word of mouth! So thankyou so much ❤️.
Here’s cheers! Thankyou and goodbye!! 😘 ###

The time has come to say farewell. Simson and Co has been an incredible journey for me. From starting it all with my good friend to creating grazes that we had only ever dreamed of doing. ✨

Over the last 6 years I have thoroughly appreciated all of my valued customers trusting me with their special occasions, and I thank them. I have been apart of baby showers, surprise parties, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and many more events.

It has come to a time where my path is changing and so must Simson and Co.
As I am still getting regular enquiries- if there is anyone that would like to continue this grazing business on - please let me know or tag a friend who you think would be an amazing grazing queen or king!!

I have one final graze coming up and it is promising to be a cracker! Can not wait to share with you all - as a final farewell.

So Thankyou for coming on this journey with me - I am now looking forward to more family time on weekends and on the farm and back to teaching time!

Hello there!

It has certainly been a while between posts (and sharing cheese with friends and family too!).
But with restrictions easing, lots of people are busy planning events and it has been so lovely that people are reaching out to see if I can create grazes, do platters etc.

At the moment, I am not taking grazing and platter bookings for the rest of the year. Hoping to re start fresh in 2022 (bring it on!! 🎉)

I have also had enquiries about our delicious hams. And yes! I will be doing Hams this year again- and will have more information about this next month 😄.

I also have to apologise to anyone who has messaged me through facebook.. my business FB manager has gone MIA… somehow 🤪.. and I get notifications that people have sent messages- but I can’t get in to reply. So terribly sorry if this is you 😵‍💫- I will keep trying to rectify the problem! In the meantime- please text or DM on Instagram 😄

I hope you are all enjoying the easing of restrictions and I look forward to creating more grazes for you all next year!

Stay safe, and don’t restrain yourselves around the cheese platters… ever! 😄

And also, while we are on music... why oh WHY has my simson and co account on Instagram suddenly taken my ability to browse for any song in my stories...?!?!! Like- literally- all gone! Just left with some pretty mediocre songs 😒 Anyone else?!

Gosh it felt good to be towing the coolroom again yesterday! Weddings and functions are in full swing again- but gee wiz... I have to retrain myself...! Is anyone else feeling this way?!
I was lucky enough to be a part of a beautiful wedding yesterday. And I had a wonderful ‘and Co.’ as well- thankyou Linda!! Even though it was late notice on my behalf 🙈😆 (retraining see... note to self- when large grazes- you need help!!! 🤪😉☺️)

I have always wanted to do a graze, out in the open, in a paddock... but wow 🤩! This set up has blown me away 😍

Since Elle from Premium Picnics has started her gorgeous business- I have wanted to work with her! I think our two businesses go hand in hand together- don’t you?
And beautiful florals by Willow Violet & Flora- what girl power!! And on ✊

We were all lucky enough to be involved with a very special occasion last night- in such a stunning setting. The Grampians... 😍

I just can’t! More photos will be coming... as ... well.. look!!! They need more space on my feed 😉😍✨

Hams have started to go out over the last few days, with three big days of baking coming up!
For everyone that is collecting hams- in Casterton and Coleraine particularly, please be on time at the collection spot, so I can continue on with my deliveries and not keep others waiting 😄
With this in mind- I know it is a busy time of year- so please bear with me if I am running 5-10 minutes late for deliveries.
Keep an eye on my stories and I will update you on times 😄 - hopefully all runs according to plan this year... as it doesn’t look like we will be reaching those high temperatures again like last year 🥴!
Thankyou to everyone who has supported me and bought a ham (or two!) from me this year. Repeat customers, new customers from recommendations- it is just fabulous for a small business owner like me! ☺️
Now it’s Ham’mer time 🙌🏻😝🙃🙂🙃✌🏼

Amazing! With a donation from each mask going to the Hamilton Hospital- what a thoughtful young man! Well done Darcy 🙌🏻

HAMILTON’S Darcy Hetherton has found a new hobby - making face masks.
The hobby has quickly turned into a lot of work, but the 10-year-old is happy to be donating $1 from each mask to the local hospital.
