TASTE THE GOODNESS OF PREMIUM PRODUCE

It’s no secret that Tassie’s produce is some of the best and freshest in the world, with Launceston recognised as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.

While you’re here, chow down on artisan cheeses, ice cream, truffles, berries and ethical smoked salmon. Sip craft beers, boutique spirits, cool climate wines and ciders.

VEG MAHAL

Help yourself to our seasonal organic veggie garden. The garden is grown by my mother, Carol, who is a consummate organic gardener. In her earlier years, as a recently arrived migrant to Tasmania in the 1970s, she knew Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, the co-creators of permaculture. She was also a friend of the late, great Peter (that’s your blooming lot) Cundall.

Permaculture is a design philosophy and practice that focuses on sustainability, and is one of Tasmania’s most important exports to the world. Watch this video for more information about permaculture.

My parents settled in Tasmania in the early 70s, living off-grid in a self-built geodesic dome in the bush and opened a kibbutz style commune based on Kfar HaMaccabi, where they first met in Israel.
