Explore the Peninsula’s famous fresh produce at Hawkes Farm
Words by Arielle Richards
Taste the region’s finest offerings at this award-winning farm.
Hawkes Farm Shop is the ultimate one-stop-shop for everything locally grown on the Peninsula. The family-run Boneo business has the humblest of origins, having its roots in just a few bags of spuds and an honesty box.
The shop now stocks fresh produce from all over the Mornington Peninsula, including, of course, its own award-winning Kipfler potatoes (which you might’ve had the pleasure of sampling at Australia’s premium restaurants).
While many of the region’s farmers and producers supply their goods around the nation, they don’t sell direct. That’s where Hawkes Farm comes in, doing their bit to make local produce available to everyone.
