ACCOMMODATION BALL BAY QLD

Would you like to see where your food comes from? Want the whole family to have fun doing it? They are a family owned, pasture based, local food, health enhancing, eco-friendly farming business in Central Queensland?s Pioneer Valley, south west of Mackay. Their mission is to supply healthy, fresh, great tasting food to local customers. Most tours will include a session on each of the following: Free Range Chickens, Pastured Berkshire Pigs (Heritage Breed), Brahman & Nguni Cross Cattle, Permaculture Food Forest & Gardens, or Composting & Worm Farms. They are often asked if the farm tours are suitable for children. Their response is an emphatic YES! In fact the Freckle Farm Tour has been carefully designed with children in mind, because they strongly believe that all kids need to see where real food comes from. Freckle Farm is also a place for people to connect with their food ? to understand the difference between what they produce and what is more commonly found on the supermarket shelves. They especially enjoy the learning that takes place when children and school groups come to visit....

Situated on the Peak Downs Highway, Eton is a charming rural community, 25 kilometres west of Mackay City. The local pub is at the heart of this community and is a great place to meet the locals and enjoy a great bite to eat. A small rustic church is perched on the hill, visible from the main road. The town is in the heart of a sugar cane growing community and much of the surrounding landscape is dominated by farming and sugar cane fields. The rural roads surrounding Eton are relatively quiet and are often used by the local cycling club for competition races. During sugar cane crushing season, from June to November, these rural back-roads are a good place to watch sugar cane harvesters working. Be mindful of many small railway crossings, many of which do not have lights or warning systems, for small trains hauling carriages of sugar cane. A true blue Aussie cowboy experience is located near Eton at Stoney Creek. Trail ride on horseback, enjoy a bush campfire or go on a Four Wheel Drive adventure through rugged farmland....
