Stone & Wood
Stone & Wood Brewing Company was founded by three blokes who share a love of beer, taking a fresh approach to brewing handcrafted beer in Byron Bay, one the greatest places on earth. Our brewing philosophy is based on brewing beer that makes the most of the ingredients available today. Beer that simply lets the flavours and aromas of the ingredients shine through by keeping the processes to a minimum. Beer that is simply good to drink. Our beers are an expression of the Stone & Wood approach to life – trying to take things slow and keep it simple. There will be two Stone & Wood bars available at the markets, serving beer as well as other alcoholic refreshments during the event.

The Nighthawk Diner
The Nighthawk Diner was founded by a couple of young chefs with backgrounds in French fine dining. They have been borderline-obsessed with American culture since they were raised feeling as though Chevy Chase was the father every boy dreamed of, and Sesame Street was just a suburb over. You can expect handmade deliciousness that includes re-worked diner classics like the cheeseburger and milkshake. Non-bastardised, handmade simplicity – all ingredients including the bun, made from scratch.

Tsuru food truck

Tsuru’s signature dish the Pork Belly Bun has won the hearts of many with its tender melt-in-the-mouth braised pork belly sandwiched in a soft pillowy house-made bun. Also on the menu is are rice dishes including beef + kimchi & chilli tofu. An exciting news for the Finders Keepers crowd this year is that Tsuru’s Balinese lemongrass chicken roll which was awarded Australia’s Best Lunch Roll in 2012 is making a return at this year’s market!

Coco & Bean
Coco & Bean started in August 2010, from my passion to create beautiful sweets made with the finest natural ingredients. I find myself inspired by the French alluring patisserie shop windows and their delicious petite sweets that fill them. We believe in using local ingredients, organic and sustainable where possible, the finest belgian chocolate, local free range eggs and pure Australian butter. Each individually created by hand, is that specialness behind our product. Belgian Chocolate Brownies, French Macarons and Biscotti, are just some of the sweets we will be bringing to The Finders Keepers market.

Kettle Town
Kettle Town was born from the quest to make a blend of chai which in turn began our fascination with flavours and aromas. Our gourmet flavoured teas are encouraged to be accompanied by desserts which accentuate, enhance or contrast the notes of each blend. We see tea as a catalyst to create a culture that creatively shares indulgent experiences. Image courtesy of Sydney Living Museum.

Millamolong Australia
Milla Cordial is based in the wonderful fruit growing area of Orange in New South Wales. The name Milla is a shortening of Millamolong, and its heritage is of country living, sportsmanship and community. You might even spy the Millamolong polo pony on our bottles somewhere! Developing the recipes, and fine tuning them to be a delicate balance of flavours took a little longer than we thought! With a little help from family and friends, we finally launched our first two flavours at the wonderful Orange FOOD Week in April 2013 and went on to win 2 medals at the Royal Sydney Fine Food Show. So sit back and enjoy a long glass of Milla Cordial, preferably with heaps of ice, lashings of mint and just imagine a cool shady post under a Coolibah tree.

At Vogue, Alison wrote recipes, tested recipes and worked as part of the team to create amazing food stories that graced the magazines pages.

The Luz Almond Company
We believe in the goodness of nature. For years we searched for a dairy alternative that left us feeling vital and energised, whilst satisfying that craving for milky goodness. We wanted almond milk that was made from real almonds, not almond flavouring. We wanted a creaminess that was derived from real foods, not thickeners, preservatives and fillers. To us, this meant quality, additive-free, pure and of course, natural. From this simple concept Luz Almond was born with a purpose of sharing a passion for living well for the health conscious Australian.
