Welcome to Casbar's Kitchen and Garden. This site should be dedicated to my Nanna. My grandparents were born in 1883 & 1893 and I had the pleasure of living with them for the first 12 years of my life. Both died at 83yrs of age. What a wonderful early education I had, "1954 till 1967". The good old days!!! I learn't how to wash in a copper with wash tubs and a wringer then
hang the clothes on the
old "T- prop" clothes line. Our bathroom was in the laundry, and on wash days the copper would be refilled
with clean water and reheated so we could all have a bath. Then there was the "chip heater" that we used to heat up the bath water if the copper wasn't in use that day. Now that, is something I really fell in love with. The massive big fire place that was in the kitchen, the vege garden up the back,
chokos growing all over the chook yard, fruit trees, grapevines, roses and flowers. Every Sunday a baked lunch, home made icecream, the corner shop just down the road,
Poppy sitting beside the wireless listening to the cricket or sitting out on the front verandah smoking his pipe.Then there was the pickles and jams, WOW what wonderful precious memories I have. I grew up with a love of the old fashioned things, and this is what I want to base the business on. Old fashioned flavour of pickles, butters, sauces and jams,
along with chrysanthemums and iris's and other plants. I am now enjoying reproducing them in one way or another. We have been selling our Jams and Pickles at markets around the Hunter Valley for a few years now
and have decided to take the business a step further with our new website. We hope you enjoy what we are doing and visit us regularly. Our Market schedule at this point in time is as follows;
