How quickly plans change...

It is with much disappointment that we have decided not to continue selling herbs this season because we are moving to Launceston.

Although the business won't continue there, herbs will be the first thing to go in along with a new orchard & veggie garden. We only wish we could relocate everything from here.

We have had a great time growing fantastic herbs & meeting many friendly people passionate about Tasmanian fresh produce. Thank you to all who have been so
inspiring & supported us.

Rob & Fiona.

*******************************


Fresh Culinary Herbs grown @ Somerset. We are privileged to live near the coast with sea views, breezes and a mild climate in the beautiful red soil farmland of North West Tasmania.

Our passion for herbs has been addictive for over 20 years. Establishing in 2008, we're selectively growing the most popular culinary herbs along with a few unique ones & continue to trial. Cutting our herbs, we get a buzz knowing that our best has been done to provide the freshest quality with care taken to wash, pack & deliver within the shortest time possible.

We aim to produce a good selection & consistent supply as the business grows. Bunches are cut fresh to order & are large catering /restaurant quantity. Our season runs from around October through to May. All is dependent on the weather but that doesn't mean we stop ...We do have a rest over Winter & do all the exciting paperwork etc but we're also preparing for the coming season.

The herb garden is evolving and we are always learning and making improvements. We are environmentally responsible using biodegradable & or compostable packaging & use farm practices as close to organic as possible.

Winter's here... but that makes you appreciate Spring, Summer & Autumn more.....

The season ends for us this week as Winter sets in, although some herbs like Chervil,Corianders & Chillies are still doing  well in the tunnel. The tunnels have extended the Basils almost 6 mths - December to early May. Coriander has been available as much as possible & Sawtooth Coriander has grown surprisingly well..

Some herbs are slow growing so won't be available all the time during the season but we always advise when they are. We try to have a good choice or alternatives available. Next season we aim to add different herbs & garlic with more available through Summer /Autumn. All the unique herbs are progressing well, just patience now.

An early start next season with a new tunnel going in, so we are looking forward to Spring and recommencing around October.
During the growing season we are pleased to meet with local chefs and anyone interested in fresh local herbs for restaurants & cafes....By appointment, you are welcome to view & try samples, please email.

Thank you to all the friendly people we have met & who have supported us this season.

  1. Well done Rob & Fiona,
    Looking forward to see what you do this season - I guess with more water and a bit of early sunshine crops are start to show new life.
