About
Five Bob Farm is a working farm located in Tasmania's Channel region, comprising 10 land titles managed as a single enterprise. The farm produces smallbatch wines and seasonal produce, with a diverse enterprise that includes a vineyard, Diemen Pepper production, and seasonal vegetables. The farm focuses on horticulture and allied activities.
The owner, Chris, has a connection to the property dating back to 1960. The property was taken over in 2001 with a focus on maintaining it as productive agricultural land. The farm combines historical elements with new initiatives, aiming to be economically viable while supporting the community and caring for the land. Good land management practices are employed, including feral weed and pest control, soil conservation, and sustainable farming techniques. They focus on direct supply of food and produce to local consumers.
The farm features art installations throughout its paddocks and forest. Its venue offers views across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Social engagement is a key part of their operations, including welcoming visitors, hosting the Art Farm, offering educational talks, and maintaining a community garden. The farm also supports employment, training, and mentorship in rural life and business.
