Community and more......
Nic is the owner and creator of Jarra Infusion and has lived in the area for the past 37 years.
She opened the café in 2015 and the concept was based on her love of creating and bringing the community together. She tries to do this through food, art, design, gardening and music. The Jarra infusion team is very much a big family. They share ideas, work together and also look out for one another. That goes for our café guests too.
Growing up, her Mum and Dad had this strong sense of community about them and it was instilled in her from a young age. Nic remembers her Mum always volunteering locally and her Dad would speak about bringing communities together and uniting people. This is what she tries to do at Jarra Infusion - build a place where its character is an energy that makes people feel welcome and accepted, just free to be themselves and enjoy the space. Nic is really passionate about it and wants people to feel this sense of inclusion when they come to Jarra. As Nic says :“Sometimes life can be a bit isolating and if we can make Jarra Infusion somewhere that people from all walks of life feel accepted, it makes the hard work worth it”.
More often than not you will catch Nic in a fairy outfit contributing to or hosting some type of community related event. She is an active member in many groups including the Murray Business Support Group, Pinjarra Community Garden, Peel Says No To Violence, Pinjarra Connect and The Pinjarra Court House. Nicole also fundraises at Jarra Infusion for the Pinjarra Community Garden and for Greener Pastures Sanctuary in Waroona.
