Andersons Produce "The Old Barn"

16/06/2026

POSITION/S VACANT
We are looking for our next team member!!

Hours/Days?
Casual Position 1-2 days per week - amount of days and hours may be negotiable - lets be real if you are a great employee you may get more hours IF you want them.

We are happy to chat about early starts with early finishes, school hours, longer days but less days - we are open to ideas that best provide a work/life balance for the whole team!

What would you be doing?
We don't sugar coat things here - you would be driving the forklift and bobcat, loading the little truck (car license required) and doing deliveries around town, and most importantly REGULARLY unpacking and restacking 20kg bags and providing EXCEPTIONAL customer service.
When we say regularly - EVERY day you would need to be physically strong/fit enough to be refreshing stock in the barn. It will be broken up between working with the epic team that we have and providing our amazing customers with any assistance also to break things up a bit.
Oh and there is dust, and dirt and no airconditioning - so if you don't like to break a nail, again probably not for you.

Who would be great at this job?
Maybe??
someone who has their own block of land and just wants a day or two off farm income?
someone that on their days off from shift wants some extra $$
someone with a great work ethic that is keen to get some new skills and hang out with some great team members

Who would be your boss?
Well the owner/manager is a female pocket rocket and so is the 2IC - so if you can't take instructions from them you probably shouldn't apply

TIPS to get the job
Do's
Do drop in or email your resume
Turn up neat and tidy when requested in person
Do know what manners are
Do know how to talk to people
Do make sure you have bathed that day and used deoderant
Do turn up on time for an interview
Do have experience in operating the forklift & bobcat - not just a ticket from a Kelloggs packet (experience overrides tickets)
Do be prepared to work but also have some fun
Do READ your resume before sending it

Don'ts
Wear Crocs..... ever and especially when you are coming for an interview
Don't come in stinking of bad body odour
Don't come in like you've just crawled out of bed and it was an effort
Don't come in complaining about your current/previous boss
Don't come in with torn/dirty clothes
Don't send a resume that you have used for someone else and you haven't changed the name
Don't lie about what you can do/your qualifications (we are findioutiologists - we WILL find out!)
Don't be the one that the middle aged girls can outwork you over and over

So if you enjoy a happy work environment, aren't afraid to work, learn new skills and handy stuff about farms and animals - be sure to pop in or send your resume to [email protected]

🙌🏻🙏 very appreciative of our loyal customers and supportive of other small local businesses like ours.

Let's talk about pricing.

Anyone who knows me and what I stand for will understand how difficult this is for me to talk about, let alone implement.

For more than five years, I've absorbed rising costs and kept our prices unchanged because I've always wanted to remain affordable for our community.

In 2020, a medium coffee cost $5.00.

In 2026, it still costs $5.00.

Yesterday, the Fair Work Commission announced another increase to award wages of 4.75%, effective from 1 July 2026.

What many people don't realise is that this isn't a one-off increase. Over the past five years, cafés have absorbed:

• 2022 – 4.6% wage increase
• 2023 – 5.75% wage increase
• 2024 – 3.75% wage increase
• 2025 – 3.5% wage increase
• 2026 – 4.75% wage increase

On top of that, compulsory superannuation has increased from 10% to 12%.

To be clear, this isn't about staff not deserving a pay rise. My team works incredibly hard and deserves to be paid fairly. They are one of the most important parts of my business, and I can wholeheartedly say that I could not do what i do without them.

But wages are only one part of the story.

Over the same period, we've seen significant increases in the cost of:

• Coffee
• Milk
• Eggs
• Bacon
• Fresh produce
• Meat
• Electricity
• Gas
• Fuel
• Packaging
• Bank fees
• Insurance
• Cleaning supplies

The reality is that the breakfast that cost $20 a few years ago costs considerably more to produce today because every single ingredient, service and expense involved in putting that meal on your table has increased.

Most small cafés aren't increasing prices to get rich.

We're increasing prices because we're trying to keep the doors open, continue employing local people, pay our staff fairly, and remain viable in an environment where costs continue to rise from every direction.

I know times are tough for everyone right now.

They're tough for families, they're tough for customers, and they're tough for small businesses too.

So the next time you notice your local café increase their prices a little, please remember that we're facing rising costs across every aspect of our business.

I'm not asking for sympathy.

I'm simply asking for understanding.

☕️ Support local.
☕️ Support small business.
☕️ Support the businesses that employ local people.
☕️ Support the businesses that help keep regional communities alive.

Thank you for your continued support. It genuinely means more than you know.
