For the past four years, Ms Nason has dedicated “over 60 hours of labour a week” to her business Tablelands to Tabletop.
She has also had to scale back on staff, with most of the work being done at the business by her and her children.
Now, she is ready to focus on what is important to her – her family.
Ms Nason said over the past months, she has begun preparing the business for sale and hopes it is purchased by a passionate person who is ready to help local farmers and consumers alike.
“It is a community initiative, so we haven’t turned a profit, only to take wages, so now it is a profitable company (due to no staff wages), and it has the bones and structure and is now ready for the new owners to take over,” she said.
“We have only put the price at $75,000 to give the new owners that head start. It has never been about the money, that isn’t our goal – it’s the passion.
“We could have listed it for $250,000, but we really wanted to give the new people that head start and affordable entry.”
Ms Nason thanked everyone who had supporter her business along the way and said she would not be a stranger to the shop, promising she will be there for her weekly grocery trips.
“I trust all of our supporters will support the new owners because it benefits them, the community and the farmers, and they all know it deserves to be supported,” she said
