HARVEST COMMUNIT Y FARMERS’ MARKET L AUNCESTON Every Saturday morning, a car park on Cimitiere Street transforms into the beating heart of the town’s food scene, with 40-odd stalls selling everything from free-range duck to sourdough, cider and freshly dug spuds. Farmers share tips with their customers and stallholders are quick to recommend others if they don’t have what you want. Best of all, the volunteer-run market promotes sustainable food production, so it’s all ethically produced and farm-fresh. harvestmarket.org.au
PYENGANA DAIRY FARM GATE CAFÉ PYENGANA Cheese devotees should hotfoot it to the picturesque Farm Gate Café at the awardwinning Pyengana Dairy. Wander down to the robotic dairy to see cows being milked, then head to the café and peer through the floor’s glass pyramid into the cheese cave below before settling in for a meal – the grassy meadow outside has picnic tables with views of the valley and the farm’s lush paddocks. Cheese tastings are available, with more than 15 varieties on offer. Try the Vintage Cloth Bound Cheddar – it put Pyengana on the map. thetasmanianfoodco.com.au
