Meet Ainslee & Anna

A little introduction to the newest members of the OBY team!

I’m so excited to have Ainslee and Anna joining me at Outback Yack Flower Farm.

They’re both local, hardworking, practical and ready to get stuck into farm life — which is exactly what we need around here!

You’ll find them out in the paddocks helping with everything from weeding and pruning to harvesting and grading getting our beautiful native flowers ready to head off to florists.

There’s plenty of hard work involved in growing flowers on our hills, so having two extra pairs of hands is amazing and I’m very grateful.

I’m so lucky to have them both on the OBY team.

Arlo also approves 🐾

A very warm welcome to OBY, Ainslee & Anna!

Happy Father’s Day to this guy

OBY might have started as a dream we had together, but without you, there simply wouldn’t be a flower farm.

So much of what you do happens behind the scenes — digging, trenching, mulching, mowing, irrigation, weeding, fixing, lifting, carrying and everything in between.

Thank you for all the hours, the hard work and for always just getting in and getting the job done, even when I say, “I’ve got another idea…”

I couldn’t do OBY without you, and I’m so grateful for everything you do to make our little flower farm what it is.

Happy Father’s Day 😘

🌸 A little OBY update 🌸

A few exciting things happening behind the scenes…

I’ve welcomed some extra help on board at OBY, giving me more hands and a little more breathing room. Stay tuned for introductions.

And… I’ve officially levelled up my invoicing game.
Invoices will now be sent on the day of delivery, I will be more organised, more professional and one less thing for me to procrastinate over.

Small business wins, but BIG milestones for OBY.

A huge thank you to all the florists who continue to support locally grown flowers, I couldn’t do it without you.

OBY is growing (pardon the pun), and I’m loving it!

🚨POSITION FILLED!🚨

A huge thank you to everyone who expressed interest in working at OBY. I’ve been absolutely blown away by the response and so grateful that so many lovely people wanted to be part of OBY.

I’ve now filled the position, so I’m no longer taking expressions of interest.

Thank you again to everyone who reached out — I really appreciate it ✌️

✨Expressions of interest✨

The flower farm is growing, and I’m looking for a local person to join me for once or twice a week for around 2–3 hours, with the potential to increase. Days and times will be flexible.

The work will be a bit of a mixed bag,no two days necessarily the same. You might find yourself:

🌸Harvesting flowers & foliage
🌸Grading, conditioning and bunching flowers
🌸Washing buckets — lots and lots of buckets!
🌸Weeding and general garden maintenance
🌸Planting, pruning and mulching
🌸Watering and general plant care

Not essential, but preferred
🌸The occasional flower delivery into Albury
🌸Basic invoicing/computer work

A little heads-up about the work: Outback Yack is on some pretty steep slopes, so this is definitely hands-on, physical work. There’s plenty of walking up and down the hills and carrying buckets of flowers and foliage, so it’s a good little workout as well as a job!

No experience is necessary, I will teach you everything you need to know.

I’m looking for someone who is reliable, practical, happy to get their hands dirty and enjoys being outdoors.

The perks?
🌼Fresh air and plenty of time outdoors
🌼Surrounded by flowers and greenery
🌼Flexible hours to fit around your life
🌼Learn about growing, harvesting and working with flowers
🐾A very enthusiastic Golden Retriever as your farm workmate, although his contribution to the workload is currently questionable! 😂

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, or you know someone who would be a great fit, send me a DM to register your interest, including a little bit about yourself and your availability.

Thanks,
Mel & Arlo 🐾

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing Mums

Motherhood is basically cleaning up messes you didn’t make, finding things that were “right there,” and keeping humans alive on very little thanks.

The hardest job in the world — but also the most rewarding.

Hope today you feel loved and appreciated 🫶

🐝 Not every bloom is meant to be picked 🐝

While it’s tempting to harvest every beautiful flower, I always make sure to leave some behind… for moments like this. The hum of bees, busy at work, reminds me that these flowers have a purpose beyond a vase.

By leaving a few to fully open and fade naturally, we’re creating a little haven, supporting pollinators and nurturing the ecosystem.

Because a thriving farm isn’t just about what we take… it’s also about what we choose to leave behind.

Things that surprised me on my farm walk around today…

1. Some Warratahs are flowering 🤯. Peaking very early since they are normally blooming in Spring 🤔

2. My possum Banksias are flowering profusely even though I have given them ZERO love

3. Macrocarpa foliage is incredibly beautiful
