Day's Walk, Talk and Harvest Tour
Event description
Are you interested in supporting your local food system? Ever wondered what really goes on at a commercial farm? We’re excited to open our farmgate, welcoming the public for a tour of Day’s Walk Farm, an organic market garden tucked away in the Melbourne suburbs.
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the labour and love that goes into growing some of Melbourne’s finest produce. Together, we will walk around the farm, learning about our farming practices, our native revegetation project, funky heritage vegetables and more. You will have the opportunity to harvest your own veggie box to take home, as well as pick the brains of one of our experienced farmers.Â
Since 2015, Day’s Walk Farm has been growing quality vegetables for the local community. Every Saturday, we drive the ute 20 minutes down the road, to the Coburg Farmers Market. We also deliver directly to restaurants and are proud to supply organic veggies to some of the most recognised names in Melbourne’s thriving hospitality scene.
We look forward to showing you around!
What to expect:
Tours take place on either a Saturday or Sunday (see upcoming dates below) and run from 8.30-11am.
Groups are kept to a maximum of 12 people.
There are a number of ticket options available:
- Farm tour + Pick your own veggie box $100
- Farm tour only $50
- Kids ticket $10
Please note, children will need an accompanying adult.
The tour will commence at 8.30am when one of our expert farmers will come and collect you from the carpark. You will tour the farm, harvesting produce and asking questions as you go. Then there will be a morning tea break, with drinks and snacks provided, before you head back out into the field until the tour wraps at 11am.
Participants are encouraged to come prepared for all weather! In the event of severe weather, tours will be cancelled and fully refunded.
