Double Bridge Farm is a not for profit Indigenous organisation located in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of NSW. The organisation facilitates an Indigenous Women's Sewing Group that comes together weekly to make the products we sell at the markets. The Indigenous Women's Sewing Group is supportive of each other and enhances the importance of health and well being within our community. The ladies in our group research items they would like to make and everyone assists in the process of making a product. The large choices of Aboriginal fabrics inspires the group to create and share their creative knowledge to the broader community.

Take your yoga equipment to the next level by shopping with our quick and stunning Indigenous design mats. We support Aboriginal artists in getting their designs out there and seen in day to day life. Jarin Street began by recognising the misuse of Aboriginal art and the industry's failure to protect the artists and Aboriginal designs- as well as a failure to highlight the artists themselves. It was also born out of wanting to create a pathway for all people to connect to Aboriginal artists and story through wellbeing in a way that was respectful and appropriately honours Aboriginal culture. We aim to provide ongoing ethical and sustainable support to the artists who contribute their work on your yoga mats and soon to come - ACTIVE WEAR. We encourage people of all walks of life to support Aboriginal artists and businesses through Jarin Street designs and products.
