Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm

Celebrate the bounty of the earth at the Autumn harvest festival in Daylesford

Lavandula’s harvest season is not only a time for bringing in the quinces, olives and apples, but also a time for preparation and production. It’s a busy time for making jams and sauces, for pickling and bottling, and for preserving meats for the long winter ahead. It’s a time for celebrating the bounty of the autumn harvest with good food, wine and music.

On Sunday, 21 May, Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm will be celebrating the season with an Autumn Harvest festival. Artisans will demonstrate how to turn ripe fruit into jams and chutneys, how lavender flowers are distilled for their oil, and how the region’s abundant chestnuts are roasted to perfection. Join the olive workshop and visit the grove to see how olives are harvested and processed. It’s a time when the wood-fired oven produces mouth-watering fare.

Artisan stall-holders will display their skills and have their hand-crafted wares for sale. Meet the original descendants, Fay and Boyd Thompson, giving tours of the historic 1860’s farmhouse. Ticino travel slides will be shown all day in the old cellar.

It’s a great day for the whole family to celebrate rural skills, open spaces and the bounty of the earth.

Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm is at 350 Hepburn-Newstead Road, Shepherds Flat, Victoria, 3461

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
