Our food

Cooked from scratch, every single day.

Every meal at the Farm comes out of our own kitchen — planned, cooked and served fresh onsite by our chef. It’s all included in your daily fee, so there’s nothing to pack and nothing extra to pay.

Meet the chef

This is Bec.

Bec has been the Farm’s chef for two years, and her kitchen sits right at the heart of the centre — opposite reception, with the day’s menu chalked up on the board beside it.

She cooks from scratch, every day, for every room — starting with a fresh damper every single morning, which is about as close as the Farm comes to a house tradition.

Everything that leaves her kitchen is made the same way: from scratch, and made with love.

From our kitchen

Fresh damper, every single morning.

Mixed, kneaded and baked before the day gets going — then eaten warm, which is the only correct way to eat damper.

What’s served

Five times a day, every day.

From a 6:30am start to the last pick-up, nobody runs on an empty tummy — and every one of these is included in your daily fee.

01

Breakfast

A proper start to the day for the early arrivals — some of our farmers are in not long after sunrise.

02

Morning tea

A mid-morning refuel between the morning’s work and the morning’s play.

03

Lunch

The main meal of the day, cooked fresh that same morning in our own kitchen.

04

Afternoon tea

Something to come back to after rest time, before the afternoon heads outside again.

05

Late snack

For the long-day children — no hungry tummies at pick-up, however late the workday runs.

The menu rotates, so meals stay varied from week to week. Questions about allergies or dietary needs? Our FAQs cover the common ones — and for anything particular to your child, just ask us.

No mystery meals

You’ll always know what they ate.

The day’s menu is chalked on the board at the kitchen, opposite reception — you walk straight past it at drop-off and pick-up.

And you don’t have to take the chalkboard’s word for it: we photograph the food we serve every day and post it to families through the OWNA app, so you can see exactly what was on the plate.

Come and see

The kitchen is on the tour.

Every tour walks past Bec’s kitchen and the day’s chalkboard — come and see where it all happens.
