The Farm
What produce is grown at Burnside Organic Farm? The McCall family grow or produce avocados, grapes, honey and capers. All these products are available in season exclusively for guests staying in the farm bungalows. Avocado picking season is October – December. During this time we have a stall at the Margaret River Farmers’ Market, where there quality avocados, honey, capers and wine are available for purchase. The grapes are made naturally into wine in our onsite winery, using traditional and low intervention methods, letting the wine express the terroir. Guests who stay in the self-contained bungalows can pick from our family vegetable garden. Lara and Jamie are always happy to show bungalow guests what is season and give advice on how to pick and cook.
