The teamwork is part of the town's ethos, The Pie Mechanic owner Adam Hayes said.

"Local businesses are working with each other," he said.

"And it seems to be working quite well."

Businesses benefit from the town's small size, and also from the transient customer base flowing in from the highway, Mr Hayes said.

"I think we've got the best of both worlds," he said.

"I think over the years, the businesses have worked out if they support each other, they'll get better growth, than just trying to take from everyone."

The Seasons of New England expo is a collaboration of local artisans from the region, allowing them to network.

Mr Hayes is looking to work with a gin company also local to Uralla, to craft sweets.

The Pie Mechanic create a pie special once a month, depending on the season and what's in stock.
