  • Amazing! Awesome! Convenient! Healthy!

    Rafferty is a brand I know and trust with my baby. It’s convenient when out and about, just twist and give. No worries about cleaning spoons, bowls, etc. When finished just put into bin, it’s that simple. The banana, peach, pear and milk flavour is my son’s favourite, always looking for more. One is never enough as it tastes so yummy!
    We always have them stocked in the cupboard and when running low, I’ll go and buy some more. I have already recommend Rafferty’s Garden to other mums and I find them to be amazing!

  • Always recommend this

    I always recommend this Rafferty range to all my friends and family. My bub always enjoyed these. He usually ate the fruit ones. I also made him milkshakes adding the rafferty pack. Lol… why the bub.. we all love rafferty milk shakes… the blend is so smooth, i dont need to do any extra effort.
    I would give him the veggies one with flatbread like jam… he never left any bits of the rafferty veggie wrap.
    Its a lovely product for all lottle foodies out there. Thumbs up.

  • A winner in our house!

    My son has loved pouches his whole life, and the new range of these in the raffertys products are a winner! I try to keep his meals as healthy as possible but as he is soooo fussy it makes it really hard! But he just loves these products! The added calcium to the product is amazing and something that i look for now!

  • love rafferty's garden

    My baby boy enjoyed all of the calci fruit range. So convenient to take it with us to have where ever we are! I have to have extra on us as even my bigger boys like them so they are always asking for “just a taste mum” I will definitely continue using this product when our next bub comes along and is ready to move from breast to solid foods.

  • Such an easy way to get their calcium allowance

    Prior to the introduction of Rafferty’s Calcifruit I struggled to get enough calcium into my 2 boys who don’t really like milk, and even cheese and yoghurt are a bit hit and miss! I have never had them refuse a Calcifruit though! Their little faces light up as soon as I bring them out off the cupboard!

  • We make them into icypoles

    We have been making these pouches into icy poles! We had a little bit of milk/ yoghurt/ juice to thin it down a little and freeze into icy pole moulds, healthy, full of fruit and calcium, limited sugar. My daughter loves them! She thinks they are just as good as paddle pops or other icy poles on the market. They work out a lot cheaper than store brought ones too! Highly recommend for versatility

  • Fruity ice cream

    My bub really loves ice cream, so this time i tried re-churning vanilla icecream after adding the mango flavour of the rafferty calci fruit range. Rechurned it and froze it again. when my baby ate it, he was so happy that his eyes twinkled and he loved the new flavour…otherwise i give him only vanilla yet. This range mixes with all my tried variations and icecream , by far has come out to be the best variation and twist. Love you rafferty for giving us so many options :).

  • My little girl loved them all

    My daughter loved the calci fruit range. She ate it all. Which is very rare for her. She was asking for more. When I came with the pouch the following day. She started crawling very quickly to me so I could give it to her. Normally I have to go to her and bring her to the table.

  • Great for on the go

    We made a mad dash out the door yesterday, threw in some clothes, bottled water, and a pouch of Rafferty’s Garden Calci Fruit. Kept Miss 3 quiet and occupied when I needed it most. I asked her to tell me what she tasted and she correctly identified the banana and mango but not the pear. She loves the taste and points them out in the supermarket for me now. While she mostly has fresh fruit, these pouches are great to keep her clean (no fruit bits or juice running down her chin or elbows) and for a bit of variety and fun.

  • 10 days down the line !

    Its been 10 continuous days that my LO is enjoying the new range. My GP said that when we give new products to bubs, we should try one product for 3 days and see if any adverse affect arises. I’ve tried all the 3 versions in the past ten days…3 days each. No adverse affects on my baby. He’s happy and loves Rafferty.

  • Awesome range!

    We have been using rafferty’s garden for awhile with our daughter, and these were a great success for her. Love the flavour combinations and so did little miss. They are great for on the go snacks that are mess free and she can feed herself without the worry of it going all over herself and pram.bery happy with this product and will purchase again and again a very trustworthy brand

  • Good for fussy ones

    I have bought these many times throughout the early years of both of my children. I can rest in the knowledge that they are getting a healthy dose of their fruit intake, as well as exposure to fruits that I may not normally buy (fig) in wholesome combinations. The addition of calcium is also great for their growing bones. I’d recommend.

  • Calci fruit is calci-YUM!

    We love the Raffertys Garden range. Especially the calci fruits. Even with our son at 18 months of age we find they’re still a great option to have handy for snacks on the go. Perfect for when traveling and you don’t know what food would be available along the way. Or if you need to stop for a snack when there’s nothing around!

  • Couldn't get enough.

    My now 9 month old has been eating these for breakfast, lunch and dessert since 8 months. She absolutely LOVES them, she can never get enough and loves every single flavour! I will recommend one change! Bigger packaging! I’m sure my little girl isn’t the only baby that eats a lot. Other than that, perfect and will continue to recommend to friends and family!!

  • So handy

    My little man is an absolute fruit bat. He lives all kinds of fruit, unfortunately it always results in a huge mess that usually requires an immediate bath afterwards. I keep these pouches on hand for when we are out and about. The flavors are the same and there’s no bad additives to make me worry and more importantly and means my son can always have a healthy snack, just without the mess when we aren’t at home.

  • Tasty treat for bubs

    I bought these for bubs not long after he started solids. To be honest when I bought these ones with calcium I did not realise at the time that they actually contained calcium, so I guess this was not important to me but an added bonus. Though I do wonder as to the necessity of including calcium. They come in a great range of flavours. My bubs preferred the fruit options.

  • Handy packaging

    Rafferty’s Garden Calci Fruit Range are convenient and healthy for bub. I wondered how it would go when I looked after my baby nephew. He just loved the Peach, Banana, Pear and Milk. It’s nice to think I’m making sure he is also getting the calcium he needs to keep his little bones healthy.

  • Rafferty's is healthy

    Me and my bub love the rafferty’s range of squeezie packets. They are both healthy and nutritious, and now with added calcium, I just know that my bubs is getting an advanced start to solids. As a bonus, bubs also seems to like the flavour and he has access to fruits that are not so prevalent – e.g., fig, that I probably wouldn’t normally buy.

    I love all rafferty’s garden products. My little boys love these pouches. They are easy to take anywhere and to have on the go. The flavours must taste good because my sons eat them all. I would recommend these to anyone who has children. That reminds me I need to go and buy some more.

    My little man loves the Rafferty’s Garden Calci Fruit range!
    His favourite would have to be the Peach, Banana and Pear, he clears his bowl everytime!!
    These are great for on the go, as they don’t need storing in the fridge.
    We always have these on hand as part of my sons lunch, or a healthy snack.

  • Rafferty's Garden needs to GROW their packet sizes!

    Rafferty’s Garden products are absolutely amazing! My 2 year old loves the taste and texture of these products and has grown up on them. When the Calci Fruit Range was released, my daughter couldn’t get enough of these. She would suck down a packet and ask for more! I’ve had to be careful about how much sugar she consumes in one of these, even if they are natural sugars.
    Sugar aside, I would be very interested in a larger tub of the Calci Fruit Range. So that I can pop it into reusable packets for daycare and lunches out on the town.

    I loved this product so much and looked forward to it being on special to buy it in bulk, it was great for travelling or for a tired mummy who could simply pop the lid and squeeze. I loved the variety and combinations that were available and highly recommend to all mums out there.

  • Going going gone!

    I babysit a little one occasionally. She is THE poster child for fussy eaters. I have on the odd occasion been reduced to snapping rice bubbles in half and peeling peas…. today her Mum dropped her off with the peach and banana flavoured sachet. I looked at her in disbelief. No way was her child going to eat this. She smiled, said “try it” and left. Come lunch time and I am quaking in my boots. Ready for a meltdown from hell.With some trepidation I held out the pack. Bang – she grabbed it – slurp slurp and it was gone… I still am having trouble beleiving it!

  • Mango, Pear & Banana Milk

    I have bought this product for my little Grandie. She wasn’t overly fussed on this product. I think it is because she is still finding her taste buds. She has eaten other Rafferty’s Garden products and sucks them right out of the packaging. Sucks it dry. LOL. This type of packaging is so handy and easy to pop into your bag when heading out. No bowls or cutlery needed. Makes you wonder how we managed 30 odd years ago.

    My 8 month son loves the Calci-Fruit range. His favourite being the Banana Fig Apple and Milk. And I love them as well. Not only do they get their serves of fruit/veges but they also get their calcium needs met as well. I would recommend these to all of my mummy friends

  • I really wanted Bub to like this...

    But unfortunately he didn’t. :( I thought, with the extra calcium, it’d be so great for his developing teeth and bones, but he just didn’t like it. It doesn’t seem to matter which one I bought, he won’t eat them. Which is odd, because he loves the other products in the Rafferty’s Garden range. Just not this. My nephew, on the other hand, absolutely smashed the leftover packs I bought. He seemed to think they were the bee’s knees. So I suppose it’s just a personal thing, as most things are. I do have to recommend this product, as I have seen many kids enjoying them, just because mine doesn’t personally, doesn’t make this any less of a great product. Keep it up!

Article Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
