🧠 Real producer stories and practical application
🍽️ Shared meals featuring locally sourced, whole foods - including a long table lunch with Bonnie Doone's renowned beef brisket

Some stories stay with you.

Many in the RCS community know James Barnet — a valued colleague, advisor and friend who has been part of the RCS family for many years.

What many may not know is the story behind the Phoebe Dawson Foundation.

Phoebe was James' daughter — a dedicated nurse whose life was tragically cut short in a car accident on 19 February 2024.

In the face of unimaginable loss, Phoebe's family chose to honour her memory by creating something that continues to make a difference in the lives of others.

Today, the Phoebe Dawson Foundation supports children's charities, ensuring Phoebe's kindness, compassion and legacy continue to touch the lives of children and families who need it most.

This beautiful photo is a reminder that behind every foundation is a daughter, a family and a story of love that endures long after loss.

We are proud to help raise awareness of the Phoebe Dawson Foundation and one simple way you can help today is by sharing this post.

By helping us spread awareness of the Phoebe Dawson Foundation, you're helping ensure Phoebe's legacy continues to make a difference in the lives of children and families who need it most.

Thank you for your support. 💙
