Where it all began
But really, the story started long before, when Linda and Jane’s father arrived in Australia as an Italian immigrant.
He brought with him a love for the land and good food. When he had his own family, he loved making meals from the fresh, homegrown ingredients outside their back door. And whenever someone was unwell or needed a little extra TLC, he knew just what they needed – a big bowl of delicious bone broth. Nutrient dense and made with love, this delicious, nurturing medicinal soup was an important part of Linda and Jane’s childhood. And as they grew up and left home, neither sister forgot its importance. They realised they had something important to share with the world. And while each sister is now doing it in her own unique way, for Linda, Broth Sisters was the answer.
What We Do Today
Today, Linda and her partner Nic continue to drive Broth Sisters forward. Linda manages the business and oversees customer relations, ensuring every aspect runs smoothly.
At Broth Sisters, we uphold our commitment to quality by sourcing the finest ingredients for our bone broth. Crafted from Linda’s cherished family recipe, our broth is known for its nutrient density and rich gelatin content. We take pride in delivering real bone broth that’s not only nutritious but also incredibly delicious.
Where We Are Going
The Broth Sisters’ product range has evolved over the years to include not only our core bone broth but also vegetable stocks and plant-based, brewable tea bags. Our 'broth bags' are Australia’s first vegan broth in a tea bag, designed to be sipped in place of tea or coffee or brewed for use in cooking.
In addition to expanding our product offerings, we have recently rebranded our website to TBS Food Co (The Broth Sisters Food Co.). This change reflects our commitment to offering an array of mouth-watering flavours and wholesome goodness, all under one roof.
From The Broth Sisters' renowned bone broths to an extensive assortment of wholesome foods, TBS Food Co. focuses on nourishing your body with flavours that are both delicious and nutritious.
Linda's Story
After graduating Linda moved overseas and worked for Emirates in Dubai for over ten years. It was here that she met her partner Nic. Together, the pair worked, travelled and embraced the fast-paced lifestyle.
Of course, Linda’s father’s core belief that food was medicine always stayed with her. Eventually, she decided to leave the travel industry and study at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. After graduation, Linda practised as a health and nutrition coach internationally, where she shared her knowledge about bone broth for bone health and repair, gut health and digestion.Â
In 2014, the couple returned to Australia and settled in Melbourne. Linda’s passion for good food grew as she started her own family and saw firsthand how important good nutrition was during the pre- and post-natal periods, and for her own son and daughter’s health.
A chat (well, many chats!) with her sister Jane saw the pair discuss the idea of bringing their papa’s broth to life and sharing it with Linda’s local Melbourne community. With the encouragement of her sister, Linda made her first batch of bone broth and sold it from her kitchen counter. The name Broth Sisters is a nostalgic nod to their childhood and shared passion for nutrition. While they now pursue their own unique dreams, the brand will always represent their shared history and very special childhood.
Linda remains deeply involved with Broth Sisters as the lead recipe developer, ensuring each product meets our high standards. Her dedication to crafting nourishing recipes continues to shape our offerings, reflecting her passion for quality and nutrition.
Nic's Story
Nic joined the Broth Sisters after the family welcomed their second baby. It was perfect timing – what was once Linda’s passion project had evolved into a thriving business operation, and Nic's help was needed. His vision helped the
Broth Sisters brand grow organically from a local market fave to a national success.
Nic may not be an original Broth Sister, but he may as well be! He shares Linda’s passion for the benefits of good nutrition and his drive, determination and hands-on approach have been integral to the business’s growth.
Like Linda, Nic is integral to the business, playing a crucial role behind the scenes at Broth Sisters to ensure smooth operations. His dedication and hands-on approach are key contributors to our success.
