Valmont Farms

Visit one of Australia's most productive and innovative hazelnut farms. Set amid the 5000 tree orchard, under the magnificent Great Western Tiers, the farm gate shop offers everything hazelnutty with great products from roasted hazelnuts to oil, rocky road and locally made liqueurs. The children will love the farm themed playground or explore the orchard with Hazelbrae's self guided tour and learn about the history and production of the farm and hazelnuts from the information boards and video. During harvest season (March/April), collect your own hazelnuts directly from the orchard. Come and explore Hazelbrae and experience the passion, knowledge, skills and flavour, direct from the source.
