Love grows in the 'Fern

Fred Bare's lovely Creative Director Fi shares her thoughts on the unique and wonderful Redfern area where the Fred HQ is based... 

"When we first came to Darlington, or is it Chippendale...or Redfern?... we were lucky enough to be on the corner of all 3!!!!
I have very fond memories of our gorgeous neighbour greeting me at the door of our warehouse with home made chocolate chip cookies, a favourite of mine... She gave me a run down on the neighbourhood and wished us well with our new business. 
That was 21 years ago. 
We live in the “Paris end of Abercrombie St”...... as some like to call it.
We just call it home!
I love the mixture of creative and courageous people and it is a place where kids have a voice.
'The Fern was were it all started for FB; We have had so much fun here and made so many friends in the hood...... I would like to share some of the things we love about the 'Fern...
 Not forgetting Bobby’s coffee and chocolate freckles and CafĂ© Tripod's home made Pumpkin soup and fruit muffins...yum yum!"
It is great to see our little village bloom.

Anzac Biscuits!

Today is a very special day as we remember the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought for us almost 100 years ago. What better way to commemorate and celebrate Anzac Day than to make a batch of delicious Anzac Biscuits! These oats and coconut biscuits were originally made to be sent in food parcels to the troops stationed in Europe during World War I. 
 The Fredbare team love making Anzac Biscuits on Anzac Day and sharing them with our friends and families! 
 This Anzac Day we thought we’d share our favourite recipe with you!  photo f8caae98-248a-4fdb-8078-2fc7ef772c8c_zps1c082dc7.jpg  photo ea20b1ae-e50d-46e2-84a7-b91fa37a66bc_zps2a303299.jpg  photo 162d5222-8fde-4ddf-94f3-15d63c9ebda0_zpsa302b84f.jpg  photo e3773857-3041-4b35-8637-237eefb37fdd_zps2d4bab36.jpg  photo ce4f475d-c79d-465e-8d08-12efd9b3a728_zpsdd471d7c.jpg  photo d96c0757-7476-4f5e-a346-11d2b3259935_zpsd10e0e2f.jpg Love, Fred x
