A piglet squeals eager for its morning feed from mother. The chickens scratch beneath the grass in search of bugs our eyes cannot see. A farmer tends to her crop dotted with fresh morning dew. Children gather beneath the macadamia trees foraging for fallen nuts and cracking them open in delight.

ASTRID McCormack often has a laugh about how taken aback people are when they arrive at her tiny restaurant, Fleet. Like Fleet, The Farm has redefined regional food tourism in this state, with hundreds of visitors arriving daily to spread out over the sprawling property, admiring the livestock on-site, in some cases picking the vegetables that spring from the ruddy earth here, and eating great food that pours forth from the kitchen like the tide.

The Farm is not simply the location for the north-coast outpost of Three Blue Ducks, the popular Bronte restaurant. The brainchild of Emma and Tom Lane is much more than that. “It’s all about growing a community and small businesses,” Tom says. “We develop the portal and allow them to come and start their business.”

Byron Bay has a farm eieio. And on that farm they have animals, farm tours, restaurants, yoga and more! The Farm Byron Bay is about getting back to traditional ways of growing food. Say hello to their animals like chickens and pigs or go for a stroll past paddocks. You might recognise their restaurant from their Sydney sister, it’s Three Blue Ducks. They’re plating up meals like sesame crusted kingfish with chinese broccoli and caramelised chilli. You can also learn to make bread or grow flowers plus join a Milkwood Permaculture course. The Farm Byron Bay is a beautiful spot to meditate and you can do that with Yoga at The Farm.

Reality television shows such as MasterChef have revived the humble home-cooked meal, and there’s no reason why ingredients can’t be homegrown, too. Here are the farmers, restaurateurs and chefs bringing paddock-to-plate eating a whole new level.

A unique Byron Bay farming initiative combines culinary flair with country fare. The Farm is possibly the most exciting venture to hit New South Wales’ most exciting town in more than a decade, maybe two. The 34-hectare community farm, complete with the far north coast’s best new restaurant, is located just a few metres from the busy main road into Byron Bay. In the 34 years since my family first moved to this hippie haven, I’ve never seen anything quite so … well … hippie. And it all began with a missing little girl and the dad who found her; the father who could never quite leave his childhood years behind.

The Farm, Byron Bay. This place opened in March, with the aim to “grow, feed and educate”. One of my favourite restaurants, Three Blue Ducks, is on site. Its menu lists the number of kilometres from where the produce was grown. On a children’s Farm to Fork Holiday, kids from five to 11 can plant a crop, or learn to make yoghurt cheese.

For as long as I can remember Byron Bay held a reputation as a mythical destination, a place of beauty and wonder. Then you get there, or try to get there but there is too much traffic, the streets are filled with dirty hippies and people trying to live an alternative lifestyle, man…. They too flock to the mythical beauty.
