Summer's rhythm in the vineyard 🌿

Each row of vines backed by our Tasmanian wilderness tells part of our story. The perfect balance of sun, soil, and cool mountain air helps shape the character of each vintage.

Right now our hillside block is soaking up as many summer days as possible whilst the grapes continue their journey toward harvest.

As the summer day softens, Five Bob Farm transforms. Our modernist venue takes on a different personality as evening approaches, glowing like a lantern among the eucalypts. ✨
Every detail of our space is intentional - from the architectural lines that frame Tasmania's natural beauty to the handpicked lighting that creates atmosphere as day turns to dusk. Just as our farm follows nature's rhythms, our venue shifts with the changing light.
Now taking bookings for late summer and autumn events, when the golden hour stretches longer and the evening light is pure magic.

Where inspiration meets natural beauty.

Our light-filled spaces blend seamlessly with Tasmania's stunning landscape, creating the perfect environment for your next corporate retreat or workshop. 🌿

Every detail is considered - from our flexible meeting spaces to our cooling water features, and those views across the treetops that seem to make every idea flow more freely. This is where work feels less like work.

Just as our farm changes with the seasons, our spaces adapt to your needs - whether it's a boardroom meeting, creative workshop, or team planning day.

This curious little friend popped into the pantry over the weekend.

Our Echidna decided to do some quality control at Five Bob Farm. After a thorough investigation of the farm, pantry and garden, he's popped back into the bush now. These little reminders that we share this space are always welcome.

Meet our summer superstars: Costata Romanesco zucchini, the heirloom variety that's stealing the show in our summer garden! 🌿

These distinctive Italian heirlooms aren't just any summer squash - they're known for their prominent ribs and exceptional flavor that intensifies when grilled. We harvest them in the cool morning hours, complete with their vibrant blossoms still attached (yes, these flowers are edible and absolutely delicious!).

What sets Costata apart is not just their looks - they maintain their firm texture even after cooking, making them perfect for grilling or incorporating into summer ratatouille. Their prominent ribs tell you exactly when they're ready to harvest - no guesswork needed!

📝 Farm Tip: For the best flavor and texture, we pick these beauties when they're 6-8 inches long, while their blossoms are still fresh and vibrant.

🌿 When art finds its forever home...

We're thrilled to announce that Edith Perrenot's 'Apothecary Bottle and Poison Bottle' has been jointly acquired by Five Bob Farm and Art Farm Birchs Bay. These stunning ceramic pieces now have a permanent home among our summer gardens, where they'll continue to tell stories of growth and transformation through the seasons.

Each bottle is a masterpiece of detail, drawing inspiration from vintage medicinal bottles while adding a contemporary twist through their scale and setting. Swipe to see how the glazed surfaces catch our Tasmanian summer light.
Visit us daily 9am-5pm to see this wonderful addition to our permanent collection.

Did you know Tasmania's native pepperberry (Tasmannia lanceolata) has been quietly making its way across the world? Here at Five Bob Farm we process most of the world's commercial harvest, and right now they're starting to colour up for picking season. Over the next few weeks we'll share glimpses of their journey from our bushland to becoming a prized ingredient in everything from local gins to international skincare. #FiveBobFarm #TasmanianPepperberry #Tasmania
