Spending a morning at The Farm Byron Bay

Byron Bay is famous for it’s wide white sand beaches, laid back hippy vibe and abundance of international backpackers. But if you’re looking for a completely different experience during your time at the most easterly point of Australia, The Farm Byron Bay is where you’ll find it.

This real working farm creates a beautiful experience for visitors to learn about farm life, how food is grown and produced and inspire you to make even the littlest change to lead a healthier life.

Starting as a backyard veggie patch, The Farm grew to eighty acres aiming to grow, feed, educate and inspire everyone who visits. I was drawn to The Farm for their herd of Scottish Highland cattle. A few months ago I stumbled on the Instagram page for Ratia Ranch and have been obsessed with seeing these cute hairy cows for myself ever since.

That’s why it was so exciting to find out about The Farm and the fact that we could see these furry animals right along our road trip. In addition to this herd of cattle, the farm is also home to Murray Gery, Black Angus and Herefords cattle, English Large Black Pigs and Bond Brown Chickens.
