The Homestead Pantry Box
I’m Sal, Founder and Owner of The Homestead Pantry Box. I am an English girl who married a country boy from Bourke. But I didn’t just visit Australia and fall in love with a man, I also worked for four years as a cook and butcher on a station in Far North Queensland. Before that, I worked for many years within the food industry in England.
Today, you will find me at home in the Riverina of New South Wales. Still married to that wild yet slightly more tamed Bourke boy with three gorgeous bush kids of our own.
Between life as a mum raising three young children, a wife to a farmer as well as running my own business, my life is pretty hectic so I totally get the daily hustle and bustle of having to be the seven-day-a-week kitchen wizard at home. It's a lot, right? Planning, cooking, and making sure your family eats healthy can be a real challenge. I mean, it's tiring and time-consuming!
On top of all that busyness, in 2018 I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease which meant I needed to start prioritising my health a little more. This extended to what I cooked and what I ate.
For me, being healthy doesn’t mean being restrictive with what I cook or eat. I have a family! And they need to be fed well. It means taking time to plan meals ahead of time and cooking more good food at home with fewer preservatives and artificial flavours. This is how The Homestead Pantry Box came to be. I wanted to cook delicious wholesome food with authenticity and flavour. I knew that when I realised this for myself, I couldn’t be the only rural mum like that out there.
So what is The Homestead Pantry Box?
The Homestead Pantry Box is designed for rural families. It's all about bringing back the joy of meal planning and home cooked meals that have variety, flavour, and enjoyment. It’s a delicious adventure for you and your family that arrives bi-monthly in your mailbox with 100% Australian-made goodies all found inside one box.

It's like having a secret weapon for meal planning right at your fingertips. Plus, each product has up to four recipes to choose from, each with handy tips, and cooking tricks to make the most of what you have on hand.

The saying “the kitchen is the heart of the home” couldn’t be truer for me. We spend a lot of our lives in the kitchen so shouldn’t we enjoy it? I love to cook and I want to help others find that joy too. Good, home cooked meals don’t have to be hard. We already have to drive countless kilometres to the grocery store and back – that should be the hardest part! So, let me help you plan with my pantry boxes, and bring wholesome, delicious, flavoursome meals to your dinner table each night.
