I have been watching and waiting with great anticipation for the opening of The Farm on Ewingsdale road at Byron Bay for months now. On my regular trips down the road to good old Byron I’d find myself coming around the corner off the roundabout and immediately looking left to see what progress was made since my last drive past. Being a country girl at heart and growing up on farms, I couldn’t wait to get amongst it and find out what this incredible space was all about. Finally, I can happily introduce to you The Farm.

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.

Last week we brought you the news of Fleet, a trailblazing new wine bar bringing fresh flavours to Brunswick Heads. This week, it’s even more big news in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales as we turn our attention to Ewingsdale where the Three Blue Ducks crew have opened their second outpost. The 90-seat restaurant and produce store is part of The Farm – a 32-hectare property with a focus on sustainable-farming practices, designed to “grow, feed and educate” the community.

While we were in Byron Bay, one of the places at the top of our ‘must-do’ list was to go visit The Farm at Byron Bay. The only issue was, The Farm wasn’t exactly open yet. However, we really didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to check it out because from what we could see on their Instagram feed, The Farm at Byron Bay looked sensational!
