Why We Partner with Local Farmers and Small Businesses
At Farmers Bag, our roots run deep into the local soil. Coming from a small rural town and a family that’s been part of this community for over a century, I understand firsthand how vital our farmers and small businesses are. They’re not just suppliers; they’re our neighbors, friends, and the heartbeat of our local economy.
Our mission is to keep these local farms and businesses thriving. By partnering with them, we help ensure that they can continue doing what they do best—bringing fresh, high-quality produce and goods directly from paddock to plate. It’s all about keeping our community alive and vibrant, and we deeply appreciate everyone who supports this vision. When you choose Farmers Bag, you’re not just getting great food—you’re helping to sustain the farmers and small businesses that make our community special.
Shallow Well Wagyu Beef
Locally Raised, Family-Proud Paddock to Plate Cattle ProducerShallow Well Wagyu Beef is proudly produced in the Rosewood–Grandchester–Mount Mort region. Chris, a long-time local who grew up in Rosewood, has owned and operated his property at Calvert for over 30 years. He leases additional land from local farmers to run his cattle, before finishing them on either grass or grain back at the home property.
Chris and Kate take great pride in the bloodlines of his full-blood Wagyu herd and is equally proud of the high-quality F1 and F2 Wagyu beef he produces. His goal is to make premium Wagyu products more accessible and affordable to everyday families.
Shallow Well Wagyu products come vacuum sealed packaging, portioned, and frozen to ensure maximum freshness. As the beef is not processed year-round, it is supplied frozen and can be safely stored for up to two years. All of our meat is processed local here in Rosewood by the local butcher

Homestyle Bake: A Tradition of Handcrafted Quality
Homestyle Bake is a family-owned baking company based right in Toowoomba, and they’ve been a beloved part of the local community for decades. What sets them apart is their commitment to keeping things personal: the majority of their delicious baked goods are still lovingly made by hand. While they do use a few machines for some of their breads, they truly believe that the human touch makes all the difference in flavor and quality.
Recently, they've expanded their supply to the Gold Coast, which means they’re not just supporting jobs in Toowoomba but also helping keep folks employed on the coast. It’s this dedication to the craft and the community that makes Homestyle Bake a perfect partner for us. Their commitment to handcrafting their products ensures that every bite tastes just like home.
Greenbank Bees – 100% Pure Australian Honey
We’re a small family-run apiary based in Greenbank, QLD, producing all-natural, pure Australian honey. As retirees, my wife Sue and I (Nev) manage every part of the process ourselves, with love and care for both our bees and our community.
All profits from our honey sales are donated to charities close to our hearts, including the Mater Hospital, Chicks in Pink (Breast Cancer), Food Bank Middle Road, and Grace Family Church.
We’re proud to partner with Farmers Bag to bring our fresh, locally harvested honey to families across South East Queensland. Thank you for supporting local—and giving back with every jar.
Brubeck Boutique Salads: Handcrafted Freshness for Over Two Decades
Brubeck Boutique Salads has been a cherished local name in Toowoomba since 2000. Founded by Jamie Whitlock, a skilled catering chef with a passion for quality, Brubeck specializes in delicious salads, wet salads, ready-to-eat meals, and even pizzas—all handcrafted with care.
For over 20 years, they've kept things personal and artisanal, operating more like a dedicated commercial kitchen than a large factory. That means more local jobs and a truly homegrown touch in every dish. We receive their fresh deliveries twice a week, ensuring that all our salads, ready-to-eat meals, and pizzas come straight from their kitchen to your table.
Just a quick note for ordering: because Brubeck delivers twice weekly, we recommend placing your orders early in the week for later deliveries, or later in the week for early-week deliveries. That way, you’ll always have the freshest options right when you need them.
Brubeck’s dedication to handcrafted quality makes them a natural fit on our partners page, and we're proud to share their creations with you.
