Kids activities, face painting, hands-on workshops and live music will run all day.

From noon -3pm Chef Yasser Qahawish and friends will be at the BBQs beside McVean’s historic barn, cooking up chicken & roast potatoes, preparing farm fresh salads and vegetarian dosas.

You will also be treated to tasty bites & fresh produce prepared by the Food School and our farmers, at different locations across the farm.

All the food will feature the amazing diversity of fresh vegetables, and honey from McVean farm, with meat and cheese being sourced from other local farms and artisans.

Local, biodynamic wines and organic brews, farm-fresh teas and local juices will also be available to purchase.
