Ballarat sweet treat specialist Springhill Farm supplied the foodie spread for the Tech School to host its event for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea on Thursday night.

It was in getting ready to host their own Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event that they had the idea to help others in the community support the worthy cause.

Springhill Farm owner and general manager Fiona Whatley said it was a fun way to give back a little differently.

“This was something we could offer other workplaces with our specialty in sweet treats. It was a way of supporting community,” Ms Whatley said.

“We love being a part of the Ballarat community. We support community through employment and purchasing ingredients locally, but we also think there is an opportunity to donate and be involved in philanthropy.”

Workplaces and community groups across the region shared in the 25^th year of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea for the Cancer Council of Australia. Last year’s events raised a combined $11.9 million to fund research, support services, prevention programs and advocacy.

Springhill Farm started back in the 1980s when school kids would visit the family farm where Jo would hit the kitchen and bake up a frenzy, creating her legendary muesli slice to give them a taste of country style.

Ballarat Tech School won its chance for the morning tea via a competition on Facebook.
