Buchi Fermentary - wild cultured foods

A new store is set to open on Memorial Dr Eumundi on 22 February, with the launch of a retail outlet for the Buchi Kombucha crew called the Buchi Fermentary.

Buchi Kombucha is run by a passionate team who have been producing ferments, kombucha, water kefir, cultured foods and DIY kits for over 12 years from their factory in Brisbane. Their products are available from Cairns to Tasmania in retail stores and at 9 farmers’ markets across SE Qld.

Three years ago, owners Jason and Tracey Davis leased some land in Belli Park and began to organically grow their own ginger, galangal and turmeric used in their kombucha beverages. They also caretake the well-known Hinterland Feijoas orchard, bringing this exciting fruit to the region once a year and using it in their products. Tracey said, “We have decided to open a retail store close to home and have all sorts of fermented foods and beverages on tap, gut health products, and we will eventually lead into some cultured food offerings. We are proudly

able to supply Mt Beerwah Natural Spring water on tap also, which will be exciting for the Eumundi community to hear.”

Visit: buchi.com.au. They look forward to seeing you in store to offer you some wild cultured foods.

Fiona Winter returns to real estate

Local real estate agent Fiona Winter has returned to her home territory after spending time travelling throughout Australia and overseas. The time away has recharged her love for the Noosa hinterland property market and she is excited to be back selling real estate in the area, having recently joined the David Berns Real Estate team. Fiona said, “It was time to take a break and enjoy the pleasures of life, spending time with my grandchildren while they were young and travelling while my husband and I are still young.” Fiona joked, but the truth is, taking time out to indulge in her passion of gardening and just enjoying days pottering around her home in Doonan has been fuel for the soul.

“It is great to be back connecting with my valued clients and being part of the outstanding David Berns Real Estate team. We live in a wonderful part of the world and without hesitation I am here to assist anyone looking at selling or purchasing in the Noosa Hinterland market,” said Fiona.
