Baraka Foods at the Mullumbimby Farmers Markets
How do you know you’re doing hummus right? When the international visitors tell you it’s some of the best they’ve tried in the world! This is the level that Baraka Foods is hitting, and they’re proud of it.
Alan Schwarz has been running Baraka Foods for five years and the business specialises in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, including hummus, babaganoush, tahini and labneh cheese. ‘Our products are made using traditional recipes passed down through the generations, with some modern adaptations,’ Alan says.
The products have found popularity in the Northern Rivers thanks to being gluten-free, GMO-free, preservative-free, and not using any artificial colours or flavours. Baraka Foods also offers a large vegan range.
Good morning, it’s April 16, 2021 a Friday, when the Morning Note reprises a memorable and meaningful quote. This is Tom Kavanagh, filling in for Carl as he enjoys time with his newest grandchild, 9-day-old Lucas Manuel Cannon. Today’s quote comes from Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller, who threw the only Opening Day no-hitter in major league history on this date in 1940. (Yes, the season started in mid-April back then, thanks to the 154-game schedule.) “Bullet Bob” was overpowering in defeating the Chicago White Sox, 1-0, but then he was overpowering throughout much of his 18-season career. He won 266 games for the Cleveland Indians and recorded 2,581 strikeouts. Had his MLB years not been interrupted by service in the U.S. Navy during World War II, those numbers would have been even more impressive.

“I would cry in class because I just couldn’t handle it, I couldn’t take it,” she said.
At points, Williard gave up on trying to succeed in school: She nearly failed several classes and was so quiet that teachers would sometimes mark her absent. But one day when she was 16, years of confusion gave way to “a huge moment of clarity.”
VIRGINIA BEACH Rick Fee had a question for the psychiatrist who last prescribed ADHD medication for his son: How, exactly, had Dr. Waldo Ellison diagnosed him with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder?
