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.

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.

Traveller

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.

Fork in the Field has hatched a Children’s Farm to Fork Holiday at The Farm in Byron Bay during the Easter holidays. The program takes children aged 5–11 on a fork journey, joining the dots between people, planet and plate. The workshops are designed to appeal to families of visitors and locals wishing to provide their children with practical life-cooking skills and want them to experience where food comes from and how they can be empowered with their choices.

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.
