POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

KOTODAMA - @toki_ko.kollective reminded me of the Japanese word “kotodama” 言霊 directly translated, it means “spirit of words”, use words to manifest your future.

Half-assing my dreams is something I don’t do. I have an unwavering belief in myself and the grit, and help from my family, to chase the vision I’ve set. Not because it’s easy, but because I never want to look back wondering, “What if ?” I work on my Kotodama regularly and ensure one foot is in front of the next towards my vision.

At the start of 2026, I shared a reel, my vision, to ensure my Kotodama was in motion:
🌱 A true paddock-to-van food experience.
🤝 Meaningful local collaborations.
♻️ Raising the bar on sustainability.
🚐 A new van.
⭐️Celebrating local makers
📲 Start selling my products online
💪 Keep getting stronger

Halfway through the year…

✔️ Our own daikon, shallots and more are growing.
✔️ Collaborations with @cbbc.beer @limpinwoodlayers @wildbnb_wildlife_habitat @savourthetweed continues and our new @worthyblooms
✔️ Home-compostable cups by @compostablealt , a new waste rubbish system, and chased a sustainability award but didn’t win.
✔️ The new van is here thanks to @foodtrailerking
✔️ Celebrating local makers @awanatural_soap @green_tumbs_ceramics @tanjivanliving @mattersoftheheart_creative
✔️ Working with a food scientist to tick every box to start online sales.
✔️ Showing up consistently and finding muscles I never knew existed at @ridgefitness_

There have been endless setbacks, delays, and plenty of moments where it would’ve been easier to ease off.

But my vision stayed the same.

Now it’s time to do what we love most, serve even more delicious meals from the new van, get them out faster, and add a few exciting new menu items.

If you’ve got an idea, suggestion, or something you’d love to see on the menu, let us know. 💚

We will be getting our new signage in place so we apologise for any inconvenience caused in the interim.

Sustainability Finalist 🎉

At Raven Place, sustainability isn’t a single initiative. It’s a network of relationships between land, food, people, businesses & community.

🌱 Closing the Loop

* All takeaway containers are home compostable by small business @compostablealt
* Kitchen scraps fermented, 20 litres donated weekly to @limpinwoodlayers Supports chicken gut health, egg production.
* Eggshells returned to our garden as natural slug deterrent.
* Limpinwood Layers chicken manure comes back to the us to build healthy compost & soil.
* Owl boxes to increase biodiversity & organic pest control installed by @wildbnb_wildlife_habitat in conjunction w @tweedshirecouncil

What might otherwise be considered waste becomes a resource.

🌾 Reducing Food Waste

* Seasonal abundance is transformed into fermented products, pickles, condiments and preserves.
* Produce utilised beyond its harvest window, extending shelf life & reducing waste.
* Traditional food preservation techniques maximise the value of everything we grow.

♻️ Upcycling Resources

* Cooking tallow is repurposed into handcrafted artisanal soap, face cleansers and shampoo bars by @awanatural_soap

🤝 Supporting Local Enterprise

* Actively collaborate with local businesses including local brewers @cbbc.beer , organic growers and producers.
* Provide a platform for local artists, @toki_ko.kollective @ashandelm.au , potters @mattersoftheheart_creative @green_tumbs_ceramics , @taniaahimsa makers, crafters & volunteers
* Our approach keeps value circulating within the local economy.

🏡 Building Community Resilience

* Raven Place has evolved into a gathering place for the Clothiers Creek community.
* We bring together volunteers, growers, learners, visitors and neighbours.
* We are also a registered emergency centre, strengthening local resilience during times of need.

🌏 Small Footprint, Big Impact

Our model is intentionally small-scale and community focused. By growing food, reducing waste, regenerating soil, supporting local businesses and creating opportunities for connection, we demonstrate how hospitality, agriculture and community can work together as one system.

⭐️Thank you ⭐️

Such a beautiful write up in this seasons issue of @tweedcoastliving chatting all things biodiversity, collaboration, regeneration, connection and farming @raven.place and @raven.place.farm and our recent biological control agents - owls, micro bats and native pollinators - installed by @wildbnb_wildlife_habitat through our @tweedshirecouncil sustainable ag grant.

We are so lucky to be collaborating with so many incredible local businesses and people here in the Northern Rivers - and we couldn’t be the beautiful location without them!

USE and CARE
Handmade soaps often retain more glycerin, a natural humectant that attracts moisture. While this makes the soap more moisturizing, it can also lead to a softer texture that dissolves more quickly in water
please store in dry and well dish in between usage ( : .

Why choose Natural soap ? #2

Soap is a detergent that was used before the advent of synthetic detergents. Since it is originally made from oil and alkali that exist in nature, it acts as food for microorganisms, activating them and increasing their purifying power.
If we all use natural soaps, not only our bodies ,our mother earth will be healthier and happier then it all comes back to us.🕊️🔄♾️🌱
