Soak up farm life and prime Dad for a monster feed of smoked ribs and smashed burgers, brought to you by @smashed_as_burger_co. Relax into lunch with live music by Jacob Pihema Music on the back of the Bedford Truck.

There will also be special Father's Day edition market stalls and of course our shop will be open, packed full of fresh produce to take home and savour.
