Dianne's Living Probiotics

🌿 SEEKING A SPECIAL PERSON TO HELP KEEP DIANNE'S LIVING PROBIOTICS ALIVE 🌿
As many of you know, I've been battling shoulder injuries for quite some time. I am now scheduled for rotator cuff surgery on 16 July.

I'm determined to keep Dianne's Living Probiotics going, but I can't do it alone.

I'm looking for a reliable, energetic and trustworthy person who may be interested in helping me with various aspects of the business now and into the future.

The role could include:
🌿 Helping prepare products
🌿 Washing and preparing bottles
🌿 Removing labels
🌿 Brewing probiotic sodas and drinks
🌿 Making green tea each week
🌿 Assisting with krauts and kvass preparation
🌿 Cutting vegetables and general kitchen preparation
🌿 Packing stock and loading the car
🌿 Market setup and pack-down
🌿 Early Saturday morning trips to market
🌿 Customer interaction and sales
🌿 General assistance wherever needed

There are quite a few hours involved and I'd love to find someone who shares my passion for natural health, good food, community and helping people.

"This is not simply bottle washing and market setup. It is an opportunity to learn traditional fermentation, probiotic food production, natural health principles, and the operation of a small artisan food business."

🌿 A MARKET UPDATE FROM DI 🌿
See you Saturday morning 13th June 🎂 at Yandina market

Many customers have been asking whether I'll still be attending Yandina Market while waiting to hear from surgeon about treatment for my shoulders.

The answer is... I'm going to attempt to be there every second week until further notice. 😊

However, my attendance depends entirely on the help I can receive.

You see, getting Dianne's Living Probiotics to market has become a bit of a community project! 😂

Before I even leave home, a special person has to load the car with bottles of Living Soda, Fun Drinks, krauts, roll-ups, powders, teas, Ayurveda tinctures, IQ-Life supplements and all the other bits and pieces that somehow multiply when I'm not looking.

Then when I arrive, my wonderful market neighbour, Cain, has usually already put up a marquee for me.

Next, my beautiful friend Corinne arrives and helps unpack the car so customers can actually find what they're looking for!

Then the rest of my fantastic neighbour family arrives — Helena, Talai and Manuel — and the magic continues.

While I sneak off to do my market shopping, they watch the stall, answer questions, keep an eye on things, help carry purchases, collect shopping later, and generally make sure I don't accidentally create chaos. 😄

And at pack-up time? That's when the real heroes emerge! 💪 Then its unpack again at home.

So for now, whether I'm at market or not largely depends on whether my amazing support crew can be there too.

I am incredibly grateful for their kindness, generosity and willingness to help. Without them, there simply wouldn't be a Dianne's Living Probiotics stall at the market right now.

Thank you also to all my customers for your patience, understanding and ongoing support while I recover.

It truly takes a village to keep the kraut flowing and the soda bubbling! 🥤🥕💚

I'll continue to keep everyone updated before each market.

With gratitude,
Di 🌿

It sounds like Cain, Helena, Talai, Manuel and Corinne have become honorary members of the Dianne's Living Probiotics team!

💚 A HUGE THANK YOU, YANDINA! 💚
It was so lovely to be at the market today.
I thoroughly enjoyed all the chats, laughs, catch-ups, hugs, words of encouragement & well wishes for the treatment & recovery of my shoulders. It reminded me that Yandina Market is so much more than a place to sell probiotic goodies—it's a community of genuinely caring people. 😊
Now for a confession...
The only reason I managed to have a stall today is because of a small army of wonderful humans! 😄
A massive thank you to my dear friend Corinne—my friend from another age—for helping unpack stock & getting me organised early this morning in the dark.
And to my incredible market neighbours, Cain and Helena, along with their amazing kids Talai and Manuel...
🏕️ Set up my marquee & tables
🛍️ Carried my shopping
👀 Kept an eye on my stall when I needed a break
💪 Helped pack everything up at the end of the day
Basically, they did everything except sell the kraut and drink the soda! 😂
(Actually they did that too!!)
I am so grateful for your kindness, generosity & willingness to help. You made it possible for me to be there today & I appreciate it more than words can say.
Thank you also to all my regular customers & the many new faces who stopped by to sample, chat, purchase products & share your stories.
My heart is very full tonight. 💚
Sometimes an injury reminds us that accepting help is just as important as giving it.
Thank you, Yandina. You are a pretty special bunch. 🌿😊
