Small businesses highlighted during Small Business Month in Australia

As part of Small Business Month, several enterprises across the New England and North Coast regions of Australia are being recognized for their unique contributions to their communities.

In Coffs Harbour, King Tide Brewing, owned by Josh and Lucyna King, operates as a family-owned brewpub. The venue combines craft beer with European-inspired cuisine, such as Polish pierogi and Bavarian platters, while maintaining a community atmosphere without gambling or smoking.

In Emmaville, the family-owned Beardy Downs operates the BD Collection, producing small-batch tallow and beeswax products for skin and leather care based on a ‘Made on the Land’ philosophy. Meanwhile, in South West Rocks, Rawspice Boutique has provided curated fashion and lifestyle products for 18 years.

Other featured businesses include a finance consultancy helping New England clients with borrowing advice and a Mid North Coast business consultant offering sales expertise to local companies.
