Harts Farm

Hart’s Farm, on Tucks Road, Shoreham, occupies 10 Hectares with Manton’s Creek flowing through. It started its working (productive) life as a dairy, and the old corrugated iron milking shed is still there, though now renovated and extended. When we bought the property in 1997, beef cattle were happily grazing on the fertile pastures. After trying our hand at continuing the tradition, first with Angus, then Dexters, we converted to growing olives. In 2000, in one weekend, with the help of friends and family, we planted 800 baby olive trees. 200 more trees followed a year or so later. In 2010 a heritage apple and pear orchard was planted with the idea of producing cider in a few years.

There is a formal vegetable garden at the front of the property and larger vegetable beds near the apple orchard.

The Commercial Kitchen and B&B opened in July 2011.

The property is a work in progress and continues to evolve.

Come and visit us and chat to the chooks, horses, native birds and friends and our very friendly dogs – Coco, the ‘I’m so beautiful’ German Short Haired Pointer and Dudley, the very plucky Jack Russell
