Drive 10 minutes down the road from the restaurant and you will find Gardners Bay Farm - a developing, multi-species, integrated farm. The farm showcases how efficient and productive a well managed, small scale agricultural system can be. The extensive market garden and orchard is situated on 2.4 acres and supplies directly to restaurants in the region.
Phil O’Donnell loves the science behind biological farming methods and has integrated a number of methods to nurture the soil, nutrients and production of our fruit and vegetables - without the use of any harmful pesticides or fertilisers.
Our farming decisions are widely influenced and tweaked to work in harmony with the natural ecology of Southern Tasmania. From Permaculture principles to Korean Natural Farming methods, the holistic management between the farm and the restaurant is a collaborative relationship that informs all of our farming choices and benefits from the expert knowledge of our farming team.
“Our focus at Gardners Bay Farm is to encourage soil biology and build healthy soils to grow healthy plants that provide nutrient dense, high quality fruits, veg and livestock.
We aim to deliver an interesting and diverse mix of fresh seasonal food. Our organic, biological farming methods help us to build a resilient, regenerative farm ecosystem that will only improve with time.” - Phil O’Donnell
