Supper Club – July with Elvesgate – Truffle Season is here!

Description

Supper Club July edition with Elvesgate – Australia’s only certified biodynamic truffle farm. 

Elvesgate is Australia’s only certified biodynamic truffle farm, and it is very much a labour of love.
Just outside Braidwood, beneath 300 oak trees, Gael and her family have spent more than a decade nurturing a forest into a truffle paddock. It began as a natural extension of years spent gardening organically through Sydney veggie patches, and learning the rhythms of biodynamics. What started in 2011 as the biggest veggie patch yet has grown into something remarkable, a living, breathing ecosystem where every part of the process is cared for by the family themselves.

There are no shortcuts at Elvesgate. No herbicides, no rushing, just oak trees, living soil, biodynamic preparations and time. Chicory, clover, lucerne and oats, hand weeding and an annual tree paste all reflect a simple belief, that the best truffle can only come from soil that is truly alive. The journey has not always been easy. Green manure crops so thick that baby trees disappeared into them, wombats digging mysterious holes, bushfires edging close and unpredictable swings of climate have all tested the farm. Yet the oak forest keeps growing, and beneath the surface a rich and sparkling microcosm continues its quiet, extraordinary work.
As Gael says: “We farm to the rhythm of the land, biodynamic methods, patient cultivation, no herbicides, and a belief that the best truffle is one grown in soil that is truly alive.”

We are delighted to welcome Gael and her husband Steve as our special guest for this Southern Harvest Supper Club, an evening to hear her story, taste her produce and sit down together around a shared table.
