Tarana has a new addition, The Butcher’s Hook General Store, who celebrated its grand opening last weekend, bringing a fresh new vibe to the town. The store, owned by Zoe, a recent Tarana resident, along with her partner Nick and their young daughter, offers an eclectic mix of items, including upcycled and new art, craft, clothing, jewellery, and locally sourced products.
The shop is designed with both visitors and locals in mind. Alongside the curated collection of unique goods, The Butcher’s Hook also carries essential general store items for those who may have forgotten something while staying in the area. From snacks to toiletries, the store provides convenience in a charming setting. Zoe plans to regularly refresh the stock, ensuring there’s always something new to discover for those who visit regularly.
Zoe expressed heartfelt thanks to the community, saying, “A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support us on opening day at The Butcher’s Hook. Whether you popped in for a browse, grabbed a few goodies, or just came to say hello — your support means the absolute world.”
She continued, “Opening this little shop has been a dream come true, and seeing so many friendly faces today made it all the more special. We’re just getting started, with even more stock arriving soon, so this is only the beginning!”
The store is open seven days a week from 9am to 3pm, offering a convenient stop for locals and visitors alike. Tarana, known for its country charm, also offers other local attractions such as Mumma Snow’s Kitchen, The Tarana Hotel, and the monthly Farmers Markets at the Fire Station (4th Sunday). With The Butcher’s Hook now part of the town’s offerings, it’s a perfect time to explore all that Tarana has to offer.
