Peppermint Ridge Farm: Australian native food experiences for all your senses!

We are passionate about growing and producing quality food sustainably and in harmony with our environment. Set in the rolling hills of Tynong North, Peppermint Ridge Farm has been growing and cultivating a wide range of Australian native food plants for over twenty years. Our established display garden features over thirty edible species of native food plants.

We have been welcoming visitors to the farm since the mid-1990s offering a range of unique foodie and educational experiences that showcase the fantastic flavours and aromas of amazing plants like anise myrtle, strawberry gum, finger lime and mountain pepper, finger lime.

Enjoy one of our popular Tour and Taste events, which commences with a guided tour of the established native food garden, followed by a three course lunch in the 1929 Schoolhouse Café with all dishes showcasing the fantastic flavours of native food produce picked fresh from the garden. View some of our previous menus to see the types of dishes on offer. Our 2020 dates are now available!

Native creative cooking classes are another regular event on the farm’s calendar. The classes introduce you to the wonderful world of cooking with native foods. We also run cooking classes for Food Studies students and Professional Development workshops for teachers of Food Studies. Call Julie to arrange an excursion on 03 5942 8580.
