Short Property Description
Want to learn about growing the sublime black truffle? We’d love to welcome you at Elvesgate, a beautiful place where we grow the only certified organic / biodynamic black truffle in Australia and possibly the world.
Our farm is not far from historic Braidwood in NSW and about an hour from Canberra. Besides growing high quality truffle, we also have a biodynamic home fruit orchard and vegetable garden, and 100 acres with cattle. We are happy to share our home and farm with you.
Please call to discuss vaccinations – Thank you
