Texas BBQ Meats

The Texas team produces delicious Texas inspired AND award winning barbecued meats, fully cooked and ready to eat.  Ash Peters spent years in the oil and gas industry and often found himself in Houston, Texas.  This was where he fell in love with slow-cooked smoked meat and so decided to try to create his own.  After a lot of trial and error, Ash and wife Jerynn have created a purpose built facility with industrial sized smokers to produce their slow-cooked meat range.    Pork Belly and Beef Brisket are their top sellers and with the popularity of their business growing, have added two food trucks to enable them to attend events.  They have now gone from batch cooking 100/200kg of brisket at a time to 1000kg and Ash says that at busy events, they can produce 130 freshly made burgers every hour, which is 1 burger every 26 seconds!  On this trail you will have a tour of their fascinating facility and get to try their seriously succulent meat products.  There will also be the opportunity to purchase their meat packs to enjoy at home.

Rolled Cookie Company 

Janine started Rolled Cookie Co. just over six months ago.  Like any small business owner, it was nerve wracking taking the first step into business ownership but her passion for baking and desire to be at home with her two small children was enough motivation to give it a go.  You will often find Janine's husband Dylan alongside Janine at local markets (it is their downtime away from the kiddies!) and he is just as passionate about the amazing cookies as Janine.  One thing you'll notice when you visit the husband and wife team at their home kitchen where the cookies and flavours are created, is that they aren't your standard cookie!  The size is extremely generous as are the special fillings, ensuring every single bite provides an explosion of flavour.  Rolled Cookie Co. speciality flavours include Tiramisu, Fudgy Choc Caramel, Almond Croissant, Raspberry White Choc Macadamia, Red Velvet, Peanut Butter, Nutella and add a mascarpone topping as an extra!  What will be your favourite?
