Imagine a flourishing township snuggled contentedly in beautiful farming valleys, surrounded by lakes and forest.  An easy train ride from Sydney, it boasts a vibrant and creative community so collaborative that the local Sports Club gives rise to a prosperous Co-operative Diary.  The 56 dairy farmers who form the Co-op increase in number to over 200 in little more than a decade, creating local employment for more than 40 people.

One hundred years ago, this idyllic scene was reality for the people of the Wyong Shire.  At its heart was the Wyong Butter Factory, a hub of industrial activity showcasing all the very best local produce including fresh fruit and vegetables, chickens, pigs and geese.  Proud farmers entered their best cows into competitions with entries being walked from as far away as Jiliby to the Wyong Show.

Surviving a whole century’s worth of boom and bust – including an impressive reincarnation after the 1920’s fire which sent butter exploding into the night like a gigantic fireworks display and razed the Dairy to the ground – The Wyong Milk Factory (as it is now known) is back with a modern twist and a new lease of life…and some new space for lease!

Come inside and find out more about this vital link between Wyong’s past, present and future to discover a thriving Paddy’s market boasting cottage gardens, grocery store, eateries and performance space inspired by East London’s famous rural-industrial SPITALFIELDS market.
