It’s been a year since the big move from Victoria to Queensland! The market landscape up north is a bit different from down south so the first few months has been a steep learning curve for us. Midway through the year we decided to stay put in one very significant market, the Original Eumundi Markets.  Not only is it the #1 tourist destination in the Sunshine Coast but it is also only half an hour’s drive from home! How good is that?!!

And it has been a good decision. We get customers on holiday from all over Australia (and the world!) so the Pink goodness is spreading out so much further and wider. Many of our close encounters have been very similar to previous ones, all very memorable indeed.

• “Beetroot?? Wow,  I didn’t expect that! It is delicious!”
• “Amazing! It is hard to find a muesli that doesn’t have a lot of sugar.”
• “My friend can’t stop gushing about Pink Muesli, I just had to check it out myself!”
• “It’s soo pretty! I’ve been putting it on my desserts.”
• “I bought a couple of sample bags last time, now I’m back for the big bag, we love it!”

These are just some of the common reactions we get and can’t get enough of.

But there is one tale that touched my heart and everyone else’s that was within earshot of our conversation.  Marina visited the market in search of a healthy food product to give to her dying sister, Stella.  Marina traveled from coastal NSW to search for something that Stella could eat and perhaps make her days more bearable. Stella is in palliative care and could not keep anything down, so has become extremely skinny.  Marina spotted Pink Muesli and bought a bag of the Coconut Caramel Crunch & Almonds for her sister to try plus a few sample bags for herself. The following week, Marina was back! She even came way before market opened because she was on NSW time which had gone into DST, an hour forward. She excitedly reported that Stella loved Pink Muesli is all she could eat!! I was so touched that after Marina got the jumbo bag for Stella and a mixed pack for herself, I gifted her with a few more sample bags to try.  I shot up a prayer in silence for Stella and am so grateful for this encounter.  I was a bit stunned after that but was on a high the whole day.  What an amazing true story, one that I just had to share here as THE tale of ALL tales.  This is definitely one more compelling reason to continue producing Pink Muesli.
