Show dad he’s the bee’s knees on Father’s Day.

This year it’s time to up the ante by spoiling dad with great food and making new memories together. Why? Because dads are one of a kind, they make sacrifices that go unnoticed until we grow up ourselves, they influence us, protect us and try their best to help us become well-rounded adults. And while a voucher or a new set of handkerchiefs wouldn’t go unappreciated, we think dad deserves the gift of great company.

All year we are hanging out for summer produce when the sweet and succulent fruity treats come into their own. Well now’s that time! There is really nothing like fruit that is in season, tree ripened and direct from the farm, and the Mornington Peninsula has a bunch of much-loved producers who grow strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, apples and more in our rich red soils. 

Spring is a magical time on the Mornington Peninsula. Fruit trees are blossoming, bees are buzzing and the soil is starting to warm delivering delicate and delicious spring produce.
