Event details

356 Annangrove Road, Rouse Hill
May 6, 2018
Sunday, 9:00AM to 3:00PM

Join us as we swap at Sydney Living Museum’s Autumn Harvest Festival, held at Rouse Hill House & Farm. The team from Vegesafe will also be there on the day to test your soil samples for heavy metals to ensure that your homegrown edibles are safe to eat. Information about how to participate and collecting your sample can be found here.

Meet some of Greater Sydney’s finest artisan producers and be inspired by the food history of Rouse Hill House & Farm as you taste, browse and shop from a handpicked selection of products – pickles, jams and relishes, teas, cordials and ciders, as well as cured meats, artisan bread, cheeses and more.

Apart from swapping, you will have the opportunity to meet the producers and discover the story behind your food. All have a strong commitment to producing handcrafted or locally grown and made foods, embracing sustainable practices and reviving traditional preparation and preservation methods.

Throughout the day you can listen to a range of fascinating talks and live food demonstrations. Explore the property and hear the stories that reveal the life of the estate over 160 years. Take a peek inside the historic convict-built house or discover the property’s outbuildings on our free family-friendly tours and workshops. Meet some of the farm animals and help our farmers feed the cows in the paddock. Or simply bring a picnic rug and enjoy the picturesque setting with a delicious spread from our ready-to-eat food vendors.
