CLOSED FOR NOW ❤️❤️
Well, we’ve put off writing a post for a little while now — mostly because none of us wanted to make this reality! We’re hitting pause on the cafe.
Taking October off gave us a much-needed break to take care of ourselves, our animals and our little slice of paradise. It also gave us space to take an honest look at our sweet little business. And, as much as we feel like we’re letting our amazing community down - staying open just isn't viable for our family right now. Running the bakery and farm alongside our day jobs on minimal sleep just isn't sustainable. Combine that with the rising cost of electricity, insurance and ingredients, there’s simply too much month left at the end of the money.
While the math isn't quite adding up right now, our hearts are overflowing. We are so incredibly grateful for this community. From our wonderful locals, to the campers sent over by the legends at Goomburra Getaway and Gordon Country, to our local producers— Valley Farms, Lazy Cow Farm, Handmade Organics & Naturals, Niven Park Homestead, Miss B Crafting, Blue Lily Studios, our fabulous coffee suppliers Renegade Roasters and the Wolff family’s lemon trees (!)—you have made every single early morning and late night worth it x
So for now, the gates at Long Neck Farm will stay closed while we catch up on sleep and figure out what's next. We aren't going anywhere, and our love for this community hasn't changed a bit. We fully expect to welcome you back in a new chapter down the road!
Thank you all for every laugh, story, and Sunday morning chat.
With so much love,
The Long Neck Family
Bron, Trev, Dec, Ella, Dan and the animal crew x
