From empty paddock to

productive truffle farm!

We are delighted to share our story in becoming passionate truffle farmers, growing quality truffles in one of the most picturesque places in Australia, the Yarra Valley. It all started with a decision to transition to living on the land in a beautiful natural environment. We graduated from living in a caravan under a huge pine tree, to a living space in the newly built farm shed. Finally we moved into our lovely country style home with views to die for. Visit us and share the joy of just being in this magical place. 

Now, the driving force behind this family enterprise is growing quality truffles. The lifestyle of a truffle grower involves dedication, perseverance, and much hard work. For us, it has redefined the meaning of ‘work’. And there is an irrepressible excitement and satisfaction seeing the evolution of the orchard, from an empty paddock to an orchard of stately French oak trees. Our focus now is carefully managing our precious orchard: carefully cultivating, enriching and maintaining an intricate ecosystem with a wholly organic application. We are proud to have created just the right environment for producing best quality Black Winter Truffles and some incredible Bianchetto Truffles. 

One of the great pleasures in this journey has been training our beautiful labradors, Tessa and Rita. They have become ardent Truffle Hunters. Their infectious enthusiasm for finding truffle, makes working with them a delight. Their intelligence and willingness never cease to amaze us, and it truly has become a special partnership.

Imagine the sheer joy of finding that first truffle, finally proving that the fragile, symbiotic relationship between host tree and truffle had been successfully achieved. We are now delighted to be able to share that excitement by offering truffle hunts in the winter truffle season from June to August. Come join us!
