Tasmania

For nature lovers, Tasmania is a favoured destination, and if they are lovers of fresh, organic produce – even better! Start at either Launceston or Hobart as both have excellent farmers’ markets on Saturdays and Sundays respectively. Stock up on fresh local produce, such as apples, if you’re self-catering and enjoy lunch from creative food vans while buskers add to the chatty soundtrack.

Throughout the state there are vineyards, craft breweries and distilleries aplenty, many with organic or ethical credentials.

South

In summer, pick your own berries at Westerway Raspberry Farm in the Derwent Valley, a perfect stop on the way to Mount Field National Park, Maydena, for mountain biking, or the Southwest National Park
In Hobart, gluten-free travellers will love Straight Up cafe and bakery. If you need quiet laptop time, head to the back of Little Lotus Cafe, a cosy vegan–vegetarian spot. On the edge of the CBD you’ll find Hamlet, a social-impact cafe employing people with disabilities. From there, wander along the Hobart Rivulet for a chance to spot platypus where Bushcare volunteers are rewilding the riparian zone. For fine dining, Peppina at The Tasman leans into seasonal produce from sustainable farms.

In the Huon Valley, Willie Smith’s Apple Shed serves seasonal meals, organic ciders and fruity spirits, with Friday-night live music and a Saturday artisan market. Nearby, Ranelagh’s Summer Kitchen Bakery offers woodfired organic bread, lunch options and treats.

North

Small Wonder Wines in the Tamar Valley has organic and bee-friendly farmer certification. They offer daily wine tours and food platters; from May enjoy the new restaurant and sculpture trail by Tasmanian artists.

Du Cane Brewing is Launceston’s earth-friendly pub, themed around Tassie’s wilderness adventure community. Relax with local beer and gourmet woodfired pizzas.

If a cafe crawl is your thing, Launceston is the place to go. Earthy Eats is all about sustainable food and community connections. Other coffee and treat destinations include: Bread + Butter with its artisanal sourdough, Parla, which is the ultimate in brunch + atmosphere, and Tinka blends eco and art.
