Retro Curried Sausages Recipe
Holly Hobby has definitely got it here
“Happiness is sharing good food and good times”
Can you spot that on this sweet retro Holly Hobby soup bowl filled with Miss Farmers Retro Curried Sausages for dinner.
This wonderful family favourite harks back to the retro times of the 1970's when the "casserole" was truly in vogue and thoroughly modern. This hearty winter meal based is on grass fed beef NO NUMBERS sausages from our farm, is a lovely warming family meal. Featuring Grass Fed Beef Sausages from our farm. With a nutrition boost of beef bone broth, made with grass fed beef bones from our farm. My Retro Curried Sausages has so much nourishing winter veg, in a beautiful warming curry sauce. Served with a side of rice. Or maybe even a crunchy sourdough bread roll makes it a winner with kids of all ages!

Dolly’s Dream Charity 2025
My hope for our farm supporting the Dolly’s Dream Charity DO IT FOR DOLLY DAY in 2025 is :
If one child is faced with the challenge of online bullying, they have one place front of mind to turn for help.
That if one family is impacted by the challenged by the online world in their parenting, they have the flash of Dolly blue front of mind. And reach to the online resources or phone help line.
For us, this is not about Beef Boxes.
For us, this is about getting the message out to kids and families. So if or when each family needs it. They have a place of support at front of mind, to turn to.
Dolly’s Dream Charity helps kids and families by programs including :
School workshops - interactive judgement-free workshops that teach students about anti-bullying and digital safety.
Beacon Cyber Safety App - practical tools and trusted resources to help families navigate technology and reduce online harms.
Parent Hub - A one stop resource for reliable advice on bullying and online safety, making family life a little easier.
24/7 Support Line - Free confidential counselling for families and children, ensuring help is always within reach.
Mental Health First Aid Training - Training community members to better respond to mental health challenges and build resilience.
