Beelarong Community Farm

26/10/2026

Our next Farmgate sale, on Saturday 31 October from 9am to noon, coincides with Halloween so it should be easy for you to remember to come down to Beelarong and check out our sale! 😱 Not only that but it is our penultimate sale of the year, so a great opportunity for you to get in early and buy up for Christmas. 🎄 We’ll have some lovely handmade gifts and cards for sale, plus some Christmas decorations and table runners.
As usual, the stars of the show will be our preserves. 🍯 We’re pleased to say that the local Carina honey is back in stock, but this will be the last batch for 2026. Of course, there’ll be the old favourites of Strawberry Jam 🍓, Pineapple Jam 🍍 and a wide range of Marmalades for those with a sweet tooth 🧁, and Tomato Relish and Sweet Mustard Pickles for the savoury lovers 🍅. Lemon Butter and Lemon & Passionfruit Butter will be available 🍋 – but get there early so you don’t miss out on these butters as we have limited supply.
New favourites on offer include Giardiniera 🥕, Tomato Salsa 🍅, and Cordial Syrups – farm grown Elderflower & Lemon; Lime; and Roasted Arabica Coffee Syrup. 🍸
🍆🥭 There's a lot of small batch chutneys, too numerous to list, some based on citrus or mango, others on vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, or choko. There’ll be something to suit your tastebuds, or great for a gift for family and friends. 🎁
♻️ As always, we welcome the return of our jars, bottles and bonnets for reuse.

We are delighted to welcome back Kym for her second residency at Rosella Cottage until the 13th September!

📸 Kym Renay is a film photographer, darkroom printmaker, and long term member of Beelarong Community Farm. Her work is centred on ecological literacy, contemporary landscapes, and place identity. Enamoured by film and print development, she experiments with alternative and botanical darkroom processes, favouring the lightest footprint where possible. You can see her work from last year’s residency at https://www.kymrenay.com/greyscale-solarpunk

During this year's residency at Beelarong, Kym will be experimenting with 4x5 large format photography and botanical developmental processes. She will be offering B&W film portraits for farm members at no charge, for those who would like to take part in the project she is working on. Kym understands it is sometimes awkward having your photo taken but sees the importance of this community and will have a sign up sheet in the shed for those wanting to be a part of this project.

Kym has recently commenced studying a Master of Visual Arts at the Queensland College of Art and Design and pays respect to Yuggera, Turrbal, and Quandamooka land and people.
