Mudgee (NSW): Farmwalks with Mudgee Fine Foods
Visit and experience a working farm
If you've ever wondered exactly what 'free range' means, get in touch with the seasons, or show your children exactly where their food comes from, Mudgee Fine Foods have come up with a great idea to get people back to grass roots level.
On the third Sunday of every month, (following the regular Saturday Farmers Markets) they are now conducting farm walks, where you can visit and experience a working farm in the Mudgee region of New South Wales.There will be a variety of farms to visit, with a choice of 3 different ones each month. The walks will encompass a wide range of producers, from Olive Oil production, free range pork and chemically free grown vegetables, to a working sheep and goat dairy with handmade cheeses.
Three farms will be open on the morning of the walks. Farm walk participants will meet at each farm, where they will be taken around the farm to see the various stages of production. There will be lots of opportunities to talk to the farmer, ask questions, and get your ‘hands dirty'. Depending on the season, you may even get the chance to pick or collect produce, and taste samples of the produce. Where relevant, there will also be the opportunity to purchase produce direct from the farm gate.
Tours start at each farm at the designated time. Participants need to get themselves to and from each farm in their own transport. Please wear covered shoes, no pets allowed, and be prepared to learn, enjoy yourself, and get some dirt on you. Further information and a calendar of tours is available on the Mudgee Fine Food Website.
