Description

BRAIDWOOD FOOD COMPANY – Australian Mountain Pepper Farm Tour

In 2016 chef Tim Wimborne and his partner Meraiah Foley started the first commercial native mountain pepper orchard in N.S.W.  An innovative and experimental operation that could best be described as “nature first farming”.  On 4 January 2020 their business vanished into smoke when the Currowan bushfire ripped through their farm. The month following this human amplified disaster was the wettest recorded in their 20 years in the Budawang Ranges.  More than two years on they are rebuilding their business quite literally from the ground up. Some of their original practices have been retained and some are new in response to the record breaking summer.  Come and see what their recovery looks like and how they are planning ahead for an unknown climate future, and try a mountain pepper flavoured treat. $15/adult
