Fat Pig Farm Huon Valley

We love the Fat Pig Farm, the farm is at Pig Farm is home to Matthew, Sadie and Hedley. Together they run a 70 acre family farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, south of Hobart. The basic concept of the restaurant is paddock to plate, nearly everything is sourced from the farm or close by. You eat in the restaurant where the meal is cooked Since 2011 Matthew & Sadie have been busy turning the one-time apple orchard into a mixed farm. Along with our namesake Wessex Saddleback pigs, the farm is home to chooks, a beef herd and a market garden. They have limited sitting each week, so its not a place you walk into looking for a table, so make sure you use their booking system at Check Availability So if you want to book a night with #rvierfrontestate we can organise getting you to and from Fat Pig Farm, for a small charge.
