The Wine Farm is where we grow the wine we want to drink and
the food we want to eat. It's where our kids get muddy, our dog
can howl without upsetting the neighbours and we can breathe.
There’s an exciting and important movement happening in our region that we want you to know about. A group of thoughtful producers and makers putting their heads together to solve some of the problems with our broken food system. This good bunch of small, family farms and businesses has been quietly forging their own community over the last few years, putting their combined efforts into a system that delivers a win–win. And now they’re bringing it to Melbourne. And we’ve jumped on board.
The Prom Coast Food Collective is by-passing the many layers between farm and plate to deliver real food – nutritious food with more flavour that can only come from being grown in soil that is still full of life – straight into the hands of the conscious consumer who not only wants quality but the knowledge that their dollar is supporting ethical family businesses and farming practices that are good for the planet.
And in this model, the producer gets their fair share of that dollar too, rewarding their efforts to go above and beyond in the paddock.

Five years on The Wine Farm and we’re gathering knowledge of the seasons and how the farm responds. We bank this knowledge in a special corner of the cellar. It’s called library stock.

Buying an existing vineyard without really knowing its potential is something you could lose a lot of sleep over.

Great wine is the sum of hundreds of decisions from vineyard to bottle. As the ‘maker’ all I do is try to make the best decision I can at any particular point in time.

In 2014, having fallen for the region in general and the potential of its grapes in particular, we took the biggest plunge so far. We poured our joint worldly effects into a small patch of dirt down the road. An unassuming address we thought might just have everything we needed to start creating our own little world. Good soil, eight thousand vines, a great big shed and lots of bedrooms to fill.
