🌿 Here’s a typical timeline of my Saturdays as a Mum of 2 small people, a farmers wife, and a business owner all written down because I’m physically unable to talk into a camera like the cool people do 😅😂

6.30am wake up to the littlest yelling out ‘Muuuuummmmy’ in her high pitched voice

7am - cup of Yorkshire tea. I’m English obsessed. God knows why. I love Coro St too.

7.30am - I usually turn the ovens on. There’s always something to cook first thing. I also make the kids breakfast because my kids can turn hangry sooo quick. ESP the youngest. She’s a bit of a ‘hoot’ like me 😅

8.30am - Hilary arrives, life is sweet again. She will usually start on cutting/folding the meat before she washes and cuts veges, slices fruits etc. I’m on juggling the wee cherubs so I turn the TV on so they can watch Peppa Pig.

9am - I’ve had enough of listening to Daddy Pigs voice so TVs off for the day and they get their gears on to play outside. I’m cutting cheese and talking nonsense (as usual)

10.30am - I’m writing up where we’re off to for the day, who has ordered what, what time it has to be ready by etc. Hilary has started on the breads.

11.30am - Packing the car, including our utility boxes which knives etc, loading the chilly bins, Hilary is reminding me to pack rubbish bags (9 times out of 10 I forget them anyway!).

12pm - Husband rushes in, takes the wee cherubs out on the farm, Hilary and I are off adventuring around Canterbury. In summer we will do back to back grazing tables along with other members of our team.

4/5/6pm - hopefully we’re done for the day. We come home, do the bare minimum of clean up because we’re both knackered. Hilary heads home probably to a lovely clean house, I walk inside to world war 3. There’s some drawings on the couch that a little person is very proud to show me. Lovely. 🤣😳

6pm - if it’s not a fish and chip night then hopefully somethings in the slow cooker or more often than not it’s a sausage in bread kinda night!

7pm - absolute goal of being in bed snoozing but usually it’s folding washing or just the typical mum jobs.

7am Sunday morning - first thing is clean up before I flop on the couch with a cup of Yorkshire tea.

🌿 Have you noticed our name has changed.. slightly?

🍇 It cracks me up. This whole business started sort of as a joke. I never thought it would end up how it has. There’s been a boat load of hard work gone in over the last 6 years. So many 16+ hour days (some back to back). So many character building moments, lots of laughs, but mostly I feel like I’m just mega lucky.

🍊 Mega lucky that I can ask my 8k + followers if I should change my name and it’s a heavily debated subject.

😅 The time felt right as we are literally full service and the majority ruled so now we’re ’Fern and Feta Catering’!!

😂 I just need to come up with a tagline now.. any ideas anyone? 😂

🌿 Goodness me it has been quiet!!!

😉 May is always our quietest month of the year, followed by June & July.

✌️ It’s a great couple of months for me to have a break, catch up on back office stuff, plan for the remainder of the year etc but I am BORED. 😜

🍇 Soooo look out for some ‘free delivery Fridays’ coming up, or if you if you need last minute catering definitely give me a yoddle.

🍊 Otherwise when should you book for weekend dates within the next 12 months? Now! There is only about 6 weekends from August ‘26 to March ‘27 where I don’t have at-least 1 booking!

🌿 I’m sitting here going through my photos of all the 50 million (not even exaggerating 😉) grazing tables, platters, and event catering that I’ve done which haven’t yet made it to social media.

🤪 I’m sorry if you haven’t seen yours pop up on here. There’s no reason other than I don’t want to bombard followers on Facebook with my bits bobs. Funnily enough I only post on my personal page maybe 2-3 times a year!

😳 And now I’ve just looked up, I see my almost 2 year old has spilt the contents of the bubble machine all over our carpet. Why did I think it was a great idea to put it in arms reach of her, I do not know. Could be worse I suppose. Could be paint, or red wine. 😅😂

🔥 Walk N Fork 🔥

🌿 When I get asked to create something that’s not on the menu, I JUMP at it!!

🥑 I’ve always had a wild imagination so I was over the moon to create something completely different to our usual for a wedding

🍇 We had 7 serviced canapés and then 7 different mini walk and fork meals for 160 guest followed by a 10pm snack of Sims Bakery pies and Kapiti Ice Creams!!

The mini Walk N Fork meals menu was:
👉 Sticky Honey Pork Belly
👉 Mini Kumara & Feta Salads
👉 Minted Lamb Meatballs
👉 Peanut Satay Chicken Skewers
👉 Pulled Pork & Slaw
👉 Korean BBQ Chicken Bao Buns
👉 Baby Mac Sliders

So don’t be afraid to ask us - we love it!!

🌿 Our uniforms really don’t show that we LOVE colour.

😅 But what else should we wear? We don’t want to stand out because we’re behind the scenes kind of people who like to sneak in and sneak out.. but black isn’t our usual style..

😂 Soooo, tell me. If you could dress us, what would we wear?
