A lovely Saturday afternoon spent with my family enjoying the warm weather and a lovely glass of local made wine. We discovered The Rolling Grape Vineyard on one of our many weekend driving trips. Sometimes we just like to drive and discover something new.
We were able to get a nice table with an umbrella on the patio. We enjoyed a charcuterie board (one of the best I’ve ever had), and wood fired pizza. Everything was delicious and fresh. There was even live music and the rolling vineyard hills were a beautiful setting.
We all have agreed that it would be a lovely place to make a return visit to, when the sun is setting.
Local is awesome!
While driving on a Sunday afternoon, we stumbled across this cute little farm called Harley Farms.
There were animals, an education area, a playground and a farm shop.
We wandered around and checked out the animals. Even as adults it was fun to walk around and see them. Sheep, goats, emu, chickens and bunnies were just some of the animals that were on the farm.
Then we went into the farm shop and were able to get farm fresh eggs. We also picked up a frozen chicken pie, goat feta, and some green beans and fresh asparagus. There were a number of freezers each dedicated to a specific protein. We were very impressed with the variety and great set up of the farm shop. They also had some other local handmade products such as soap and gifts. As well as a selection of fresh vegetables to take home to enjoy.
As a family we are trying to make more of a commitment to supporting local and finding little shops that we can support. This was a great weekend adventure and we will for sure be back again. What local farm shops have you discovered?
