Farm & Co at Cudgen is one of those places that gently encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy the simple pleasure of being outdoors together. Set among rolling fields and open skies, it’s a beautiful destination for families looking to reconnect with nature — and each other.
Whenever we visit, we head straight for the Farm Walk. Entry is $7 for adults, with kids 14yrs and under free, and it’s worth every cent. The self-guided walk winds through seasonal flower fields, past peaceful paddocks where cows graze beneath shady trees, and across wide open spaces perfect for little legs to explore. You’ll find hammocks strung between macadamia trees, free-ranging chickens wandering the grounds, and plenty of quiet spots to stop and soak it all in. The kids always make a beeline for rescue pigs Hank and Peppi, who are guaranteed to get a smile. Cracking open the macadamias found lying on the ground is also a highlight of a visit!
After exploring the farm, the café is the perfect place to finish your visit. The charming market-style space is surrounded by shade trees, making it an easy spot to relax while the kids enjoy the playground nearby. The menu offers barista-made coffee, cold-pressed juices, cabinet treats, and a delicious à la carte breakfast and lunch selection. Inside, you’ll also find fresh produce, flowers and artisan goods that make it hard to leave empty-handed. If you’re looking for something a bit more special, the Farm & Co Restaurant offers refined rustic dining with a farm to plate menu, reservations are essential (please note the playground is not located near the restaurant).
Whether you’re stopping in for a coffee, wandering the Farm Walk or making an afternoon of it, Farm & Co is one of those places that’s well worth adding to your family weekend list.
