New Stockist Alert!!! 😃 @16beachgeneralstore is New Stockist Alert!!! 😃
@16beachgeneralstore is a fabulous Specialist General Store located in Rye on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. 

We were so excited to hear from Frank, who was looking for locally made burritos for his wonderful store! You can now find Richie's full range of burritos (regular & gluten-free) in the freezer at 16 Beach General Store.

Big thanks to Frank and the wonderful crew in Rye. A great place to drop into if you live in Rye, or on your next Mornington Peninsula day trip!

Why are we both wearing hi-vis vests? We both pick up produce from the Epping wholesale market in the wee hours of the morning. It seemed like the easiest place to deliver Frank's first order of freshly made burritos last week!!!

Richie's Jarred Salsa production always begins wit Richie's Jarred Salsa production always begins with roasting key ingredients. This gives our jarred salsas a delicious, complex flavour 😋.

Small batches + high quality fresh ingredients + lemon juice as the only preservative + no tomato paste or thickeners + handmade = really good jarred salsa👌!!
