Hawkesbury Harvest

Farm Gate Trail

A visit to the Hawkesbury can be much more than the great scenery and beautiful places to stay. The rich green farmland, the country lanes, the chances to meet the people who grow your food and who will allow you to taste, buy and learn. This what the Farm Gate Trail & the Farmers and Gourmet Food Market experience is all about.

When you do take the time to smell the roses, taste the fruits and share a yarn at the farm gate, you'll also know that you're making a difference for our farmers as you wind your way along the Trail or stroll around the Market.
