BALLINADEE BUS TURNS 5!

It’s madness even typing this, but this year on the 5th of June our small little family business turns 5 years old! What started as a lockdown project to distract us from grief has grown into something so beautiful so colourful and just down right unique! We could never have anticipated what direction the business was going or how it was going to grow but we are so happy with our little slice of paradise here in Beautiful Ballinadee.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank every single customer who stayed in one of our buses, anyone who came and bought a coffee or a cake, anyone who has come up to the rescue farm and donated to the animals anyone who has camped with us or slept in their camper-van. We would like to thank our amazing suppliers past & present we would like to thank our staff, our work aways our family and our friends. ❤️

Above all we would like to thank to local community of Ballinadee for continuing to support us without you none of this is possible! ☀️

The business has changed over the last 5 years & honestly who knows what the next 5 years hold, So naturally we would like to celebrate with you guys (wouldn’t be like us 😏) So we’ve decided to throw a family weekend at the rescue farm & coffee truck!

What dates ? Saturday & Sunday 6th & 7th of June.
What to expect?

A bouncy castle for the little ones
Live music on both days
Face painting & much much more

This is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has supported us, we’ll have a few treats throughout the weekend as a token of our appreciation we hope you all can make it!

Thank you for your continued support 🚌
