Have you met "Tarzan" yet?

Well, on Sunday 19th May Farm 2 Fork will visit the farm of "Tarzan" (aka Mark Herlaar - an Australian television star) and his family.

This flavoursome stop on our Farm 2 Fork trail is the origin of the deliciously healthy Manifest Kombucha. You’ll meet the Herlaar family who’ve had a 40-year presence in the area and a great connection to the local land.
The Kombucha is brewed using the pristine spring water from their picturesque Merritts Creek farm and high-quality ingredients; resulting in some delicious flavours of their calming brews.
Meet the growers and taste the produce on Sunday, May 19.

Sleeping up to 8 guests, you will have full exclusivity of the property upon booking, including a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with spectacular high country views, and a self contained 1 bed, 1 bath cottage.
Both have their own wood fired stove, perfect for a winter escape with friends.

The lawns are looking 👌🏼 for this Sunday’s Autumn Picnic. Kick your shoes off, lay out the picnic rug and enjoy a good old fashioned Sunday Picnic…except for this picnic, there’ll be live music, you don’t have to do the catering, and we’ll mix the cocktails for you! All you have to do is byo rug or something to sit on!

This will be our first picnic since our outdoor stage renovation and lawn extension (which warranted a new mower) so we have plenty more space for you to spread out, kick back and relax this Sunday afternoon.

Well behaved pooches welcome 🐩

We’ll never tire of this view from our dining room.
Rolling pastures paint the backdrop, with Black Angus & Dohne Merino’s dotting the landscape. The pobblebonk frogs in the dam can be heard from up here, and the creek is trickling still from the recent rain. The ancient Moreton Bay Figs framing the garden, house a myriad of native wildlife which can be seen from your table through the floor to ceiling glass.
Originally built as the machinery shed for the dairy, we think it’s not too bad for an old shed.
