Petwood Farm is a permaculture based orchard growing
a wide range of fruits, vegetables and free range eggs. The property
demonstrates sustainable production and living systems. Organic
production and low energy buildings are just two of the features.
Local produce is very much a part of a sustainable production
system. A wide range of local and organic produce is available
to sample and purchase from their farm shop.
From Emu Bay to American River can be found
some of the Islands premier food producers. The sheep milk dairy
at Island Pure offers visitors
the opportunity to observe milking, cheese production, tastings
and sales. Ferguson
Australia produces some of the world’s finest lobster
and prawn products. At their holding shed in Kingscote you can
view live king crabs, lobster and if your lucky some creatures
just for the kids.
Kangaroo Island Ligurian
Honey’s processing factory and Fryar’s
Kangaroo Island Free Range Egg Farm, which produces 19,000
eggs per day are also located in this area.
The towns of Kingscote and American River offer
many accommodation and dining options with picturesque locations
on the waters edge. Don’t miss the wonderful views around
Bay of Shoals winery, just
behind Kingscote.
