In 2009 Farmy began with an honest and simple philosophy: if you couldn’t eat it, drink it, grow it, or meet the producer, then you wouldn’t find it at Farmy. That ethos has always held true. Now, that little carpark farmers’ market that began with just 12 producers now hosts a street-side seasonal cast of over 200, and has grown into an essential Sunday ritual for locals. We’re also acknowledged as one of the top five farmers’ markets in the country. Tasmania’s distinct growing seasons make for an ever-changing array of cool climate produce – that’s what we celebrate every Sunday. Staying true to what’s in season locally is reflected throughout the market on fresh produce stalls, in artisan foods and on street food vendors menus. Nestled in a groovy alcove in the middle of Farmy you’ll find the Grub Hub. This is where it’s at on Sunday in Hobart for breakfast, a cheeky brunch or lazy lunch, with all the hustle, bustle and smells of a street food market. Each Sunday you’ll find ten rotating street food vendors dishing up international cuisines with a local twist. See you Sunday.

The house is being restored over time and its elegant Regency design, convict barracks, barns, stables, and a chapel are surrounded by a large ornamental garden. Edward Curr, the chief agent of the Van Diemen's Land Company, started construction in 1832, and later additions were made by John Lee Archer. The VDL settlement began in 1826 on 350,000 acres granted under Royal Charter by George IV. Today, the original farm has reduced and covers around nine acres, which is open to visitors daily from 0930 - 1630, only closing on Christmas Day. The site is also available as a venue for weddings, meetings and artists in residence. School groups and coach groups are also welcome. Highfield is the story of success or tragedy - you decide.
