We first met Amanda and her sweet family when she opened her home to us on a warm November day during our Spring ’19 shoot in Byron Bay. Her home, an old church that she and her husband lovingly restored and renovated over the course of the past few years, served as the perfect backdrop for our Spring collection – embodying the verdant, lively magic of the Byron Bay Hinterlands. Days unfold slowly and sweetly at Church Farm, where the golden hours of daylight are spent tending to lush gardens and the evenings are spent cooking fresh produce over the fire surrounded by a community of dear friends and family. Together, Amanda, Andrew and their two sons grow and harvest a bounty of fresh, beautiful produce on their little farmstead, most of which is used to make handcrafted soaps, sauces and curry pastes that they sell through Church Farm General Store (we are in love with every single one of their thoughtful creations!). Living intentionally and consciously in sync with the land, Amanda and her family lead a truly full and joyful life, brimming with laughter, love and vitality. We feel so fortunate to have experienced a little slice of their heaven – and we will carry it with us for years to come.
