This National Family Business Day we asked our founder, Carolyn Creswell, what running a successful Australian owned family business means to her;

“As a proud Australian family business owner and a mother of four, I’ve learned that true success isn’t just about growing the Carman’s business, it’s about finding harmony between work and family life. To me this means balancing how I care for both Carman’s and my family so that we can continue to deliver delight every day.”

30 years ago, when I was 18 years old, I had the opportunity to buy a tiny little muesli business that I was working for. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that Carman’s would become the incredible company I am so proud of today.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for supporting us over that time. We couldn’t have done it without you!

We absolutely love crafting delicious recipes for you to enjoy, and look forward to seeing what the next 30 years brings.

From all of us, our heartfelt desire is that this seasons break and beyond brings everything you wish for and more.

With all our gratitude,
Carolyn and the Carman’s family

Yum! Carman's Kitchen

Creamy Honey Oats

Carolyn Creswell from Carman's Kitchen
Business Day Out was a great success for 2022! So great to see everyone come together once again for a fabulous afternoon...

Stuart Benjamin, Tony Cartwright, and Karen Inkster were part of an intriguing panel discussion about 'Reinventing our Food System'. Carolyn Creswell, the founder of Carman's Kitchen gave a motivating presentation on how she built her business from scratch and we finished the day with an inspirational and moving talk from Abdullahi Alim, WA Young Australian of the Year and recipient of the Leaders Award by Queen Elizabeth.

Thank you Commerce Ballarat for another great Business Day Out!

Fantastic opportunity to hear from speakers Tony Cartwright at TUI Foods, Karen Inkster, Carolyn Cresswell from Carman's Kitchen and Abdullahi Alim.

Also great to catch up with fellow business people in the Ballarat region including Alicia Linley, Michael Poulton and Carmel Flynn.
Last Friday and Saturday we held The JLF Trek on the stunning Yorke Peninsula. We trekked 72km on the Walk the Yorke trail to raise awareness for bowel cancer prevention and early detection.

Dahlia is a bowel cancer survivor and one of the trekkers who joined us for the two-day challenge. Dahlia was just 27 years old and the healthiest she had ever been when she noticed blood in her stools. Dahlia spoke with her GP, who referred her to a gastroenterologist and she then underwent a colonoscopy where she was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Dahlia is a Jodi Lee Foundation Youth Ambassador, and joined us at the event briefing to share her story with our trekkers.

We are so grateful to have the support of people like Dahlia who are passionate in helping us raise awareness about bowel cancer early detection and prevention and spreading the important message that you’re never too young to be proactive about your health.

Bowel Cancer is unfortunately the #1 cancer killer in 25-34 year-old Australians and it is the second biggest cancer killer overall. Raising awareness for bowel cancer prevention and early detection is the key to turning these statistics around. That's because, if detected early, up to 99% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated or even prevented.

A special thank you to our team of passionate volunteers and all our partners and sponsors who helped make this event possible:
- Jodi and the team from Event Managers Australia for delivering another successful trek.
- Our community partner; Yorke Peninsula Council and the Walk the Yorke trail
- Our supporting partners; Seppeltsfield, The Happy Snack Company, Vili's, Carman's Kitchen, Goodies & Grains, Bickford's Australia, Mount Lofty Springs, Kiplings Bakery, Budget Car Rental, MediaNest and our official photographer Shane Reid - Fotonaut.

Thank you - we could not have delivered the event without your support.

We've already received feedback from participants that by participating in the trek, important conversations around prevention and early detection are taking place in the workplace and at home. The awareness that this event generates and the important conversations and action taking which others are inspired to do from seeing their friends and colleagues complete The JLF Trek really does save lives.

Congratulations to all the trekkers who joined us to complete this challenge and for helping us raise over $138,000. We're on our way to reaching our target of $150,000 and it's not to late to donate:
https://app.jodileefoundation.org.au/events/the-jlf-trek-sa-2022

It was great to see so many corporate and community teams joining us this year as well as people who completed the challenge solo. Special mention to Roussos Recruitment for being the highest team fundraiser, with an amazing $35,000 raised, followed by other top team fundraisers Food Processing Equipment Pty Ltd, The Light Impact and Cavpower.

Well done to all involved on an incredible effort. We look forward to you joining us for The JLF Trek VIC in Apollo Bay in October!
