THE BERRY FARM COTTAGE CAFE @ MARGARET RIVER
After the whimsical visit to the magnificently
cherished Jewel Cave, we drove over to The Berry Farm Cottage Café on the way
heading up to Margaret River upon recommendation from Steph- a lovely lass from
Seattle whom we met during out stay at YHA
Pemberton,and also a sporting companion during our climb at Diamond
Tree at Manjimup! (=
What greeted us upon arriving at the farm was the
splendid view of the many colorful flowers accompanied by the glorious sunlight!
The weather was really nice and needless to say, we got immediately smittened
of course! (=
The
Berry Farm
was established in 1986 by the Lindsay Family. It has grown from a small café
selling homemade jam to the busy café today, with a winery and a Cellar Door
that sells many house special products. The ‘berry’ lovely garden was then purchased
by a French family in 2006.
Own farm grown produce is used where possible in their
menu as they endeavour to support local cottage producers, besides using
organic produce and buying fresh seasonal local fruit and vegetables.
Wulura Extra Virgin
Olive Oil (EVOO)
from Yallingup is used in their menu preparation and Dardanup Butchering Company is sourced for their meats.
For your information, all of the Berry Farm condiments used to compliment these dishes are available
to taste and purchase at the Cellar Door.
Exquisite range of gourmet jams, chutneys, sauces and
vinaigrettes as well as variety of fruit wines are available here
TODAY’S
BRUCHETTA
(AUD 15)
Classic Tomato, Pickled Red Onion, Basil and EVOO
Homemade Hummus, Roasted Red Pepper and Za’atar.
I would say this was a very healthy meal to start of
the day. The total combination in terms of the presentation and colours were
very inviting and helps injecting some mirthful mood. Having said that, some of
the pickles remained as acquired taste to some as WP found it pretty
challenging to his tastebud and I end up clearing most of it, haha.
RHUBARB
& MULBERRY CRUMBLE (AUD 10)
Served with vanilla ice cream
Initially I was hesitating whether to choose the
scones or other desserts- I was practically spoilt for choices! There were so
many cakes and confectionaries to choose from but over here, we had only one
tummy- WP is not a sweet tooth but me! Lolz….
So seeing that this rhubarb crumble was the highlight
of the day, so I decided to go for the special pick since it’s not available
every day.
So much so I love all kind of berries, but caveat be taken-
these fresh mulberries can be really sourish and so piquant that you seems to
enjoy the dessert with your eyes semi-closed in attempt to withstand the
tanginess throughout, haha. Nevertheless, they were very fresh and I think it
could be different varietal of mulberries that those that are planted at my
garden back home.
Besides the quick tete-a-tete session, I do really
enjoy the light stroll around the beautiful, dainty garden. How I wish I have
more time to spend here!
All in all, it was a pleasant visit to this cottage café
that is famous of its Beef and Red Wine pies, Scones or Boysenberry pies, whilst
watching and listening to the gorgeous little Blue Wren locals who call The
Berry Farm home. Wish to return again in the future for its many more berries
indulgence!
Cheers for now and follow us at Carpe Diem for more ‘food-ful’
