Throughout Australia, farming enterprises are finding new and surprising ways to share and prepare their produce, tempting travellers near and far.
Whether it’s at a shop in town or at the farm-gate door. Here are some of our favourite delights.
BEECHWORTH HONEY, VIC/NSW
Did you know Australia has the largest collection of honeys in the world? Beechworth Honey showcases some of this diversity at its ‘honey door’.
When What’s Up Downunder visited Beechworth over the summer, Jodie Goldsworthy tempted guest hosts Greg and Sue Evans with many varieties.
Top tastes include an ironbark, blue gum and even an avocado honey! Check out our clip below!

Every Friday, Bodalla Dairy Shed delights children–young and old–with ice-cream tastings at the Farm Shed made from milk sourced on-site.

CATANIA FRUIT SALAD FARM, GRIFFITH, NSW
No doubt about it, farmers are an adaptable bunch, evident in Sharon and Joe Maugeri’s enterprise: the Catania Fruit Salad Farm.
Depending on the season forecast, the family harvests grapes, oranges, pears, apples and even prunes, welcoming guests in daily tours aboard a corrugated bus.
Guests are treated to a short cinema presentation before sampling conserves and wine produced all on-site.
