Ever wonder what's actually living on a farm? 🐛🌸
This Saturday (Oct 25) the Friends of Five Bob Farm Landcare crew are hosting the Great Southern BioBlitz and you're invited to come count critters with us.
9:30am-2pm we'll be doing wildflower walks, spotting water bugs, learning how to use iNaturalist, and basically documenting everything that calls this place home. It's part science project, part treasure hunt, and honestly pretty fun even if you've never done this sort of thing before.
BYO lunch and your walking boots - the weather will do what it wants, so dress accordingly.
Five Bob Farm, 3866 Channel Highway, Birchs Bay.
Ever done a BioBlitz?

We're opening up October 31 - November 2 as part of Spring in the Vines - the weekend when wineries across southern Tasmania throw open their doors to celebrate spring and new releases.
Tastings at the farm 11am-4pm all weekend. Come taste some wines, do the art trail, and hang out where it all happens. We'll be around to chat about growing (not making - that's our winemakers down the road!) and what makes this spot special.
(Bonus: Friday night kicks off with our Frightful Feast - Halloween meets wine country)
Ever done a wine and art trail weekend?

Fivebob Pinot Noir 2023: A Wine That Practically Winks at You

Let’s be honest: this wine didn’t just stroll into the room. It kicked the door open wearing sunglasses, holding a guitar, and somehow already had a fan club.

Hand-picked grapes? Absolutely. Gently pressed? Like a baby duck being patted dry with Egyptian cotton. Aged in seasoned French oak? Naturally — this is a wine with better travel stories than you. And with only 1,272 bottles made, it’s rarer than a tradesman showing up on time.

The first sip? It tastes like someone squeezed a punnet of cherries, a handful of strawberries, and just a dash of “I’m cooler than you” straight into your glass. There’s a whisper of spice in there too, like cinnamon crashed the party but knew when to leave.

At 12.9%, it’s the perfect co-pilot: lively enough to make you funnier at dinner, but not so strong that you end up singing power ballads to your cat afterward. The finish lingers just long enough to remind you this was a good decision.

Fivebob Pinot Noir 2023: Less a wine, more a personality you want to invite to every barbecue, dinner party, and questionable Tuesday night decision.

Thanks Mitch's Brother🤣

Need something spicy for Dad this weekend. Pop into the produce pantry, we can help you out ... with pepper. 🌶️🎁

If Dad's a wine guy, order online by Thursday for Friday delivery.

back to our 2024 Pinot Gris. Those lovely bright aromas of nashi pear and freshly cut feijoas are just perfect for this time of year. The savoury edges of green pear skins give it that lovely balance. This wine has that crunchy texture and unctuous body that makes you want to keep sipping. Pairs beautifully with roast pork and apple puree - proper comfort food! What's your winter comfort food pairing? 🍐

First brave signs that spring is stirring beneath all this winter chill! These daffodils are popping up around the farm like little messengers saying "hang in there, warmer days are coming." We're not quite ready to pack away the winter woolies yet, but seeing these cheerful faces makes the vineyard pruning work a bit more pleasant. What are the first spring signs you've spotted around your place?

Someone's been busy in the night! 's mysterious artist Worm has left us another beautiful surprise - a perfect little picnic set nestled under the pear trees. There's something magical about discovering these handcrafted pieces appearing around the farm. Winter afternoons just got a bit more special with a place to sit and watch the world wake up for spring. Who else loves stumbling across unexpected art in everyday places?
