James energy made the Brewery tour a fun experience though the highlight was definitely getting back to taste the beautiful food matched with Carlton beers. All the staff made it a memorable visit.

Such a refreshing place to relax and wonder around tucked away within easy access and short walk from public transport. I walked along thw Yarra trail and wondered around through the farm into the main compound. There arw several dining options taking care of varying tastes and budgets which were all very busy. Lentil as Anyhthing serves delicious meals based on an open menu and seasonal produce. Convent Bakery serves delicious bread, pastries, sandwiches etc. and the farm cafe also offer picnic packs. You can wonder around the expansive gardens and relax in this wonderful oasis.

This brewery was well worth a visit. We went to sample a couple of beers and ended up staying all evening. Good atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Pizza is available from a caravan outside and the range of craft beers is excellent.

Such a great place to take the kids and let them enjoy such beautiful farm animals and more right in the city. The staff are very helpful, there is plenty of space to sit and eat, explore and for the animals to be seen. Good activities for the kids to get involved in to like feeding the animals, watching the cows get milked, petting the guinea pigs and more. Great onsite cafe too which does good coffee and decent food. Worth a visit and won't break the bank
