About Us
We are passionate primary producers committed to growing 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. These plants feature in out new native foods dukkah.
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.
