14 | Mid-Western Living SUMMER 2025 MAKE YOUR MARK WITH A WELL-LOVED LOCAL BUSINESS IN MUDGEE NEW YEAR, NEW VENTURE DOUGHH Company: A Sweet Chance to Spread Joy and Creativity As the new year dawns, there’s no better time to consider a fresh start and a new venture. In the heart of Mudgee, a number of established businesses are up for sale, each with its own unique story, community roots, and loyal customer base. For those dreaming of a tree change and a chance to embrace country life, these opportunities offer more than just financial investment - they represent the chance to continue a legacy, connect with the community, and build upon years of dedication from the previous owners. DOUGHH Company started as a way for founder Tay to stay home with her daughter, Bobbie, and share a little joy through the simple act of giving. Driven by the power of small gestures - like delivering a batch of fresh chocolate chip cookies to lift someone’s spirits - DOUGHH became a celebration of homemade magic. It’s allowed Tay to work on her own terms, savouring quality time with her daughter, who still thinks tagging along to Woolies is the best part of the day. One of Tay’s favourite parts of the business is its versatility and creativity. With over 50 unique cookie flavours, DOUGHH has become a creative playground, pushing the boundaries of what a cookie can be. Beyond the kitchen, DOUGHH’s community extends across Australia, from local Mudgee markets to stockists and customers in Tasmania and WA. “Getting out to the farmers’ markets and meeting everyone is one of my favourite things,” Tay shares. For her, the business is not just about baking cookies but about the connections, creativity, and joy it brings. Tay wants future owners to know the endless potential of DOUGHH. “Don’t be afraid to make it your own!” she says. With the business lovingly run from a cozy garage-turned-shop, it’s ready for fresh ideas and new growth. Tay and her team member Jess, both mums, have shown how adaptable the business can be, proving that DOUGHH can fit around life rather than the other way around. Now, as Tay and her family prepare for an exciting journey travelling Australia, she’s excited to pass on her business baby to new owners who can take DOUGHH into 2025 with a bang. With a loyal local following, creative freedom, and room to grow, DOUGHH Company is a unique and heartfelt business ready for its next chapter. ___ PRIVATE SALE Contact Tay via email: taylahobrien@yahoo.com Whether you’re looking to bring your expertise to an established local favourite or eager to explore a whole new career, Mudgee’s thriving landscape and welcoming community make it the perfect place to start anew.
