PADDOCK TO PLATE

With a focus on fresh, organic and wholesome cuisine, the network of Three Blue Ducks restaurants and cafes – there are four – are among the most applauded of their kind in the country. While their city locations in Sydney and Brisbane are always a treat, perhaps the best way to understand their ethos is with a visit to their base in Byron Bay. Here, The Farm is just that: a sprawling patch of idyllic countryside where animals roam freely and horticulturalists tend to organic vegetables and fruit. You can follow in their footsteps and learn about sustainable farming and how various crops are grown before sitting down to a couldn’t-be-fresher meal of just-harvested produce in the breezy dining room. thefarm.com.au
