The Rhubarb Lady

Preserves Are Delicious
Hi, I love rhubarb.
Last September, I started making and selling rhubarb preserves. Wow...I had no idea that they would sell so well. I now have 250 rhubarb plants growing to try and keep up with the demand for product.
I am now begining to be refered to as the "rhubarb lady."
My business is called Lanas Garden.
I wish we had a Rhubarb Festival in Australia, but as yet I have not found one. If anyone knows of one, let me know.

With your preserves selling so well, no wonder you are referred to as the Rhubarb Lady.
I don't know of any festivals where you are either. Maybe there are growers in addition to yourself in your community who might be interested in starting an annual tradition?
With the demand for your rhubarb preserves and considering all of the things that can be made from rhubarb, it could turn out to be quite successful.
