ALL ABOUT MOUSE!
So… who is behind Mouse & Me Co.?
Hi! My name is Karol, and I am the big human behind Mouse & Me Co.
I have a little human, AKA Mouse, who holds many titles within the business- Director of First Impressions, Marketing Manager, Taste Tester (sometimes!), Food Critic and Tech Support.
I grew up in the Central West of NSW - think 1970’s & 80’s- a small, regional town.
We were always travelling somewhere for something. We travelled for family gatherings and functions, and ‘drop in visits’ were a thing. Visiting family and friends back then, 40 + years ago, meant turn up unannounced - if they were home, you were in luck- you were welcomed and entertained (picture gathering around the ‘larger than you’d ever need’ dining table with a clear plastic covering over the tablecloth or crocheted doily! There was no question that you would be fed (and hydrated) - even if you weren’t hungry- there was always a gourmet spread of your dreams!
From salami to spec, cheese & dips, olives, roasted peppers, cabbage salad, thick crusty bread, and sweets - Turkish delight, baklava, and halva. There was always an endless supply of authentic Eastern European fare to be enjoyed.
I’ve always been a bit of a ‘dream big’ type of girl. The allure of the ‘big smoke’, the ‘bright lights and big city’ had me dreaming for more. So off I went to explore. I immersed myself into my professional roles within the Real Estate and Retail industries, working my way up from the bottom, and always strived to provide the best customer service I knew.
I still believe that ‘honesty is the best policy’, ‘communication is key’ and good old-fashioned ‘getting to know you’ banter always helps along the way.
Why All-Australian Gourmet Produce?
Why not! We have so much to offer. Mouse & Me Co. showcases fabulous Australian gourmet producers- and in the future, we hope to expand and offer experiences and places to see & stay! Our makers and shakers mirror the ethos of our brand and showcase the heart and soul of theirs.
Trust plays a key role in all of this, and one of the reasons I have told you my story today. It helps to know who you are dealing with and where your money is being spent.
Welcome to our home-grown gourmet grazing destination, - our online store is ALWAYS open, and WE would like to invite you to come on in and enjoy what there is on offer.
I may be one, but WE are many.
