Hawkes Farm Market, kitchen and coffee bar is a family-owned and operated working farm in Boneo, Victoria.
The Farm Market is open every day (excluding Christmas Day), selling Hawkes-grown and best of local fresh and pantry produce – and local craft. The Kitchen and Coffee Bar are open on Saturdays and Sundays only for hot chips, baked potatoes, croque monsieur, fruit smoothies, gelato and more.
Richard Hawkes is a sixth-generation Hawkes farmer. That means Hawkes hands have been pulling fresh fruit and vegetables out of Victorian soil for more than 180 years. Things changed in 2007 when Farmer Richard started growing the trusty potato in a small area on the Boneo farm, and today Hawkes' Premium Kipflers are served in restaurants across Australia.
Turning off Boneo Road, a long drive passes pick 'n' ride tour trailers, the picnic lawn, and a 1970s red Farmall Tractor for the kids to play on.
Keep an eye out for Open Days at Easter, Melbourne Cup and Australia Day, with seasonal events such as Friday Night meals, fish van, Meet The Maker Markets and pop-up collaborations with local winemaker Rhino Tiger Bear.
The Farm Market, which started as a few bags of spuds and an honesty box, stocks fresh produce from around the Peninsula – and further afield in Victoria for a handful of specialist goods.
