Father’s Day is only a few days away, so we’ve rounded up a selection of unique (and last minute) Scenic Rim gifts and experiences perfect for celebrating dad this weekend.
Experience
Get in early for Father’s Day and join the Tommerups for the feeding rounds as they open their farm gates this Saturday, September 3 from 9:30 – 2pm. After missing our Farm Gate Trail in July, their fridges are stocked with their delicious artisan dairy products and pork, veal, and lamb.
Don’t miss tasting one of their ice creams while you’re there enjoying the beautiful surrounds and experiencing an authentic working dairy farm. Pre-orders from the larder are strongly recommended.
This will be a ticketed event so head to their website or Facebook for more info!
Towri will also be opening their gates this Saturday to showcase what goes on at their sheep farm, while offering a range of delicious treats while you’re there. Their milking demonstration will be at 10am sharp for those who wish to learn all about milking sheep.
Arrive anytime between 10am and 2pm to build your own scrumptious platter by choosing local Scenic Rim produce from the Towri Shop and find a spot in the garden to nestle in and enjoy or cosy up under the Towri Shed.
Don’t forget to cuddle their sheep and say hi to the cutest baby lambs! For more info click here.
