Emu Ridge Newsletter February 2022

17 February 2022

Hi Emu Ridge friends,

Welcome to 2022. Things have been a little quiet here on KI with border restrictions and crazy covid. So we are excited that all areas of Australia can now visit us in SA with borders opening including international travel on the 21st Feb yay! So with some time to spare we thought we would send out an update on what’s been happening at Emu Ridge and on KI as our December news was very, short, sharp, and shiny!

Thanks always to our loyal customers for their support. Without you, we would not be here! Wishing you all health and happiness for the rest of the year ahead!
Kind regards Larry, Bev & Team

How To Ease Covid Symptoms

Great news from Covid customers. The age old natural steam inhalation using our Eucalyptus oil has effectively reduced their symptoms of breathlessness when they had contracted the virus. Eucalyptus oil is an effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal oil and with its medicinal properties, helps to aid in decongesting when used in inhalation. Read more in our blog post here ….

More Awards for Kangaroo Island Ciders

Kangaroo Island Ciders have received their first awards for 2022 at the Australian Cider Awards! Colony Cove Vintage, Draught, and Original Ciders all won top silver (almost gold) in their category. Graham was devastated to receive silver, after receiving Gold for many years prior! But we think he’s done pretty well out of 231 participants!!

First, we had Birdie and Bond from Adelaide, then Yuhi from Japan, and we now welcome Angie and Grant from Victoria, and local KI Chef Nick. See some of the mouth-watering meals here….
