Edible Forest & Field Tour: Two Growing Systems, One Farm

The Farm Byron Bay

Taste your way through two growing systems on one regenerative farm.

Take a walk (and a taste!) through two powerful regenerative farming systems—side by side, working in harmony to feed the community and the Three Blue Ducks restaurant, right here at The Farm. 🌾 Market Garden with Greens from the FarmStart your tour with Josh and Lynette, long-time growers whose 1.5-acre market garden shows what’s achievable on a small scale. With a focus on soil health, seasonal rhythms, and hard-earned know-how, they grow a riot of nutrient-rich greens, herbs, edible flowers—and the occasional cult favourite like garlic scapes. Rooted in regenerative practices like compost-fed soils, and minimal tillage, their spray-free produce makes its way to local markets and straight onto the Duck’s Menu. 🌳 Food Forest with Growing Roots PermacultureThen, wander into the lush Food Forest with Bunya and Flavia of Growing Roots Permaculture. Over the past eight years, they’ve transformed a former paddock into a dynamic, self-sustaining ecosystem—part farm, part classroom. Through fruit trees, perennial crops, natives, and ground covers, their system creates microclimates, retains water, and rebuilds soil—thriving even through droughts and floods. It’s a living example of working with nature, not against it. Why join?This is a hands-on tour that explores two unique ways to grow food—one orderly and open, the other wild and wonderfully layered. Expect tastings of giant greens, unusual fruits, and flavours you won’t find in the supermarket—plus grower chats and fresh ideas from people growing real food with purpose, right here at The Farm. $18 | 11.30AM-12.30PM | Meet at the Red Tractor, The Farm Byron Bay
