​Winter brings many pleasures, but few are as eagerly anticipated as the arrival of fresh truffles. Hidden beneath the earth and discovered with the help of trained truffle hunting dogs, these prized delicacies have long been celebrated for their remarkable aroma, rich flavour and connection to the land that produces them.

What do you do during a global pandemic when you’re a budding truffle farmer? You start dog training!

It’s not just Games of Thrones and Aussie rules fans who get excited when the colder months come around – truffle farmers do too! You see, winter is the season for the all-important truffle harvest.

We’ve had an early and exciting start to our truffle season with Lucy our truffle hunter finding her first real truffle!

As we find ourselves in late autumn on the farm, an exciting season has presented itself – that of the crowning truffle!

When we started on this farming adventure more than six years ago, opening a farm gate where we could share our homegrown truffles with others, seemed something of a pipedream!
