Rush Essentials

Come and see us for the final day at the Off Grid Lifestyle Expo at the Showgrounds! 🌿

If you've been thinking about living more naturally, becoming more self-sufficient, or simply picking up some practical ideas for everyday life, this is the place to be.

There is so much learning to be done, with inspiring exhibitors, hands-on demonstrations, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discover something new.

Stop by the Rush Essentials stand, say hello. We'd love to chat and help you on your low-tox journey.

See you at the Showgrounds today! 🌱💚

A few weeks ago, our family had the absolute privilege of visiting Mooloo Farm and spending the morning with Noel and Debbie at the very place we source the grass-fed tallow for all of our handmade tallow products.

What an incredible experience it was! 💛

There is something truly special about standing on the very land where it all begins, listening to a family speak with such genuine passion, knowledge and care for what they do. Seeing first-hand their commitment to ethical farming and quality gave us an even greater appreciation for every jar, balm and lip balm we create.

As a family business, we love knowing exactly where our ingredients come from and the people behind them. Building relationships with local producers who share our values is so important to us, and visiting Mooloo Farm reminded us why.

From paddock to product, every step is done with care, integrity and purpose—and we're so proud to support another local family business.

And this weekend... we're doing it all again! 🌻

We'll be at Sunflower Day at Mooloo Farm, and we'd love to see you there.

It's more than just a day out—it's a day to slow down, reconnect with nature, support local families, and make beautiful memories.

🌻 Wander through stunning fields of blooming sunflowers and pick your own bunch to take home.

🛍️ Browse the markets filled with local makers, fresh produce and handcrafted treasures (be sure to stop by and say hello to us at Rush Essentials!).

🍴 Enjoy delicious food, soak up the relaxed farm atmosphere and let the kids enjoy animal encounters and outdoor adventures.

❤️ Best of all, every ticket helps support two incredible local charities: Little Haven Palliative Care and Chemotherapy In Cooloola Inc.

If you've been looking for the perfect family day out, this is it.

Come along, soak up the sunshine, support local, and experience the heart behind the products we proudly use in our tallow range. We can't wait to see you there! 🌻🤎
