BEST GUIDE TO THE FARM BYRON BAY MENU & FAMILY ACTIVITIES

INSIDE: Roam the Gnome’s Guide to The Farm Byron Bay menu & things to do for kids

The Farm Byron Bay is one of the best places to visit in Byron Bay with kids.

It’s a wide open space, with farm animals, exquisite gourmet food & snacks, coffee and chai on the go, AND a rustic playground.

What’s not to love?

But the highlight is eating there.

Take a sneak peek at The Farm Byron menu (and things to entertain the kids too) .

Best Things to do at The Farm Byron Bay New South Wales

The Farm is an initiative of Tom Lane (heir of the Oroton fashion empire) along with his yoga-teacher and marketing-savvy wife Emma, and their family.

Wanting to give something and to build a community around sustainable farming and food production, the Farm delivers on their personal promise to:

provide 100% chemical and spray free food
collaborate with local producers to offer cheeses, breads, and other locally-grown foods to visitors and residents of the area
provide space and time for health initiatives such as Farm Yoga
provide workshops such as Permaculture, Fermentation (DIY Kombucha…yum!), and flower arranging
host children’s school holiday activities

The Three Blue Ducks Restaurant and Cafe is thriving, there’s flowers and cheese and produce to snap up to take home, the pigs have had piglets, and the chickens are squawking happily!

It’s good, it’s abundant, it’s fresh, and it’s real!

The Farm Byron Bay NSW Playground

Kids (and parents) love the playground.

This rustic handmade timber play space is one of Byron’s best playgrounds for kids.

Kids can climb, swing, head up the ladder into the cubby, balance on the upright logs, slide and play on the retired tractor.

It’s within sight of the cafe and restaurant, so older kids can play while you eat.

If you have young kids, grab a takeaway coffee, and a pastry, and keep watch over the little ones while you chat with friends.

THE FARM BYRON BAY FOOD

Situated on a 32-hectare site just as beyond the Byron exit turnoff, The Farm is already a little village community all to itself, an offshoot of the thriving green community of Byron Bay township.

This cafe restaurant farm combo is VERY popular with local school mamas, as well as the Byron and Bruns creatives who work from home and need regular face-to-face meet ups before going stir crazy.

For those of us tagging kids along, there’s nothing better than bringing your kids to a cafe that actually invites them in with a big charming rustic playground, melt in your mouth berry muffins, and local ginger beer.

THE FARM BYRON BAY RESTAURANT THREE BLUE DUCKS

Their salads are bright, colourful and divine.
