Most days of the week either Patrick and Sally or the community gardeners are harvesting veggies and herbs from the garden on the farm and bringing them straight to the farm shop for sale. It is the vision that Darryl (the farm owner) and we have had since the beginning and seeing it finally take shape is simply wonderful. It’s taken two years but has been worth the wait.
Pictured above and below are some examples of what turned up this week, including these spectacularly shaped heirloom tomatoes from Patrick and Sally, and the photo below shows some veg and flowers harvested by Emily in the community garden.
It’s all organic and seasonal, and the only food miles are the steps taken to carry it from the garden to the shop!
Pictured here is what was included in the all organic large veg boxes the other week. The contents are mixed up every week, depending on the season and those that choose to subscribe always get a bit extra as a thank you! Set price boxes are available through the website, with four sizes to choose from. You’re also welcome to include requests which we will do our best to accommodate.

School holidays at the farm! Facilitated sessions for kids aged between 6 and 14 years old. We set up a range of self-guided stations around the room including water colour and acrylic painting, beading and jewelry, upcycled creations, air dry clay, origami, wool weaving, hand sewing and more. The stations include examples and written explanations to suit all ages and abilities, with two staff on hand to help out and supervise. The examples and materials change slightly each week to offer different ideas to keep kids interested and engaged.
The sessions also include a walk around the farm to visit and feed the goats, have a look in the market garden to see what’s growing and kids can plant their own seeds to take home.
The farm shop and farm cafe will be open and you can order morning tea or lunch for the kids, or a coffee and cake for yourself to enjoy on the verandah. Food sensitivities are catered for, with vegan, nut free and gluten free options available*.
The classes are limited to 15 kids per session and bookings are required to secure a spot. Bookings can be made here.
All our art supplies are biodegradable and/or made from recycled materials, even the glitter! Any plastic pieces are sourced from op shops and donations from the community.
*Please note food is prepared in a kitchen where ingredients such as egg, nuts, dairy and wheat flour are handled.
