About This Group
This group is for you to reach out, connect, and support each other. Like virtually all of the groups here - it's serve yourself. It's up to you to figure out how to organize yourself and to use this resource well and wisely.
NOTE: Though I am the creator of this group - be aware that I do not live in Australasia. I can help out for very general questions, but please don't address questions to me personally. This is a self-help resource for everyone down under.
Also - a usage point. Please use the comments section to introduce yourself and make general comments. If you are raising any point that you want feedback on, please start a discussion. As the creator of the group, I have added three on sourcing. Use these as ideas for creating your own.
Enjoy!
PS. To help your fellow members out it would be really great if you replaced the default avatar images with something more interesting. A picture of yourself perhaps or your company logo or a picture of your work.

Well done Clay! You are right, having a network in our part of the world is definitely going to be helpful! I am originally from Ohio, but have been here 22 years. 2 1/2 yrs ago I established Geraldton Hill Bute SA geraldtonhill.com.au. I own and manage a predominately wholesale home based business creating artisan toffees and other sweet creations in country SA on the York Peninsula. I spend hours sourcing all things to do with the business. To have a forum to obtain and share knowledge about where others source items is always helpful. Some are not willing to share info, but I believe that by sharing we make each other stronger and the industry stronger and better. So, thank you very much Clay!!

Great idea Clay. As a beginner in making chocolate for local beans in Samoa I'm glad to be a part of a more closely connected community of chocolate makers in our area. I've learnt plenty from Chocolate Life already and thanks for that. Hope to learn a lot more. - Bob Rankin
