October is Small Business Month! And to celebrate, we’re highlighting some of the great small businesses we have throughout the region.

Today we have yummy fresh locally made food! All the essentials – meat, bread, and gluten free cupcakes.

Tarinore Farm 🖥️

We are local farm supplying pasture raised fresh farm beef and lamb to families in the New England. 100% grass fed direct from your farmer.

Glen and Lucy Chapman are local regenerative farmers. We are both for family run farms in the region and are passionate about regenerative farmer restoring our landscapes while supplying healthy food for families in our region.

All our meat boxes are full of 100% grass fed beef and lamb. Packed and delivered locally to our region. Each box provides convenient packed for people who want to know where their food comes from. We are open gate and invite our customers to visit our farm and see exactly how we farm using regenerative principles.


Macintyre Hot Bread 🖥️

Macintyre Hot Bread, a family-owned bakery rooted in the heart of Inverell.

For years, we’ve been serving the local community with a commitment to quality, crafting everything from fresh bread to award-winning pies. Our bakery is known for delivering delicious, freshly baked goods each day, all made with the finest ingredients and traditional methods. Whether you’re stopping by for a warm loaf, a quick coffee, or our famous Steak Dianne pie, you’ll find the same level of care and attention in everything we do.

Macintyre Hot Bread is owned and run by Mitchell and Sarah Johnson. Mitchell left school and started his career in baking at Macintyre Hot Bread. After completing his 4 year apprenticeship he worked there for approximately another 6 years. Along with his wife Sarah who had also been working at Macintyre Hot Bread for 3 years, they decided to purchase the business. They have now proudly owned Macintyre Hot Bread for a little over 2 and a half years.

At Macintyre Hot Bread, we believe in supporting our local community, not just through our in-store service but also by delivering fresh bread to cafes, restaurants, and businesses throughout the area. Our dedication to providing high-quality baked goods has made us a trusted partner for many local establishments. We are proud to be a bakery where tradition meets modern taste, ensuring that every product we offer brings joy and satisfaction to our customers.

Our goal has always been simple: to serve the Inverell community with freshly baked goods that bring a little joy into everyday life. As a family-owned business, we take pride in the relationships we’ve built with our customers over the years and are truly grateful for continued support. Every loaf, pie, and treat we make reflects our commitment to quality, and we’re proud to be part of our customers daily routine.


The Daily Cupcake Co. 🖥️

We are an online business, and exclusively bake Gluten-Free Cupcakes, hand delivering them around Tamworth NSW. Our recipes have all been developed by us, and we bake everything from scratch.

We’re (Tim & Kirsty) a husband and wife team, who co-founded this little biz 4 years ago, when Covid decided to change our trajectory. Tim came from a hospitality background, having managed or supervised restaurants across Tamworth & Sydney, and Kirsty, a registered psychologist, also with a background in hospitality. In fact, that’s how we met over 10 years ago! In an effort to spend more time with our 3 little ones, and with an entrepreneurial itch, we launched The Daily Cupcake Co.

The Daily Cupcake Co. was born in Tamworth in 2020 out of a desire to do better. Better gifting, better caking, and better gluten-free eating. We were also fed up with the common notion that gluten-free = less than. We challenged ourselves to do better, and we think we nailed it. Everything we bake is always GF, but we bet you can’t tell. Our signature swirl adorning our cuppies is always Swiss Meringue Buttercream – a house made premium type of icing, that once you try, you’ll never look back.

In mid 2024 we launched Jarcakes – our answer to sending cupcakes in the post! We now also express post our Jarcakes Australia-Wide, so you can enjoy wherever you are.

We recently also had the honour of winning the Excellence in Customer Service  – Hospitality, Small award at the Quality Business Awards!


Throughout October, we’ll run stories highlighting the great local businesses we have right here in our communities. This is a free service – the businesses highlighted have not paid for this story.
