Autumn High Tea in the Paddock

Date: Sunday, 5th April 2026
Time: 2.00pm to 4.00pm
Cost: Adults: $85.00 / Children under 12yrs: $45.00
Location: Tenterfield, NSW (15 minute drive from town)

Join us for a slow autumn afternoon on our farm just outside Tenterfield.

When you arrive you’ll be welcomed with a warm drink and something sweet before we set off on a gentle walk around the farm. We’ll wander through the vegetable patch, visit the chickens and talk a little about what’s growing as the season shifts into autumn. Along the way you’ll see the cattle grazing in the paddocks and hear about the small steps we’re taking as we learn more about regenerative farming and caring for the land.

After the walk we will gather at a long table set in the paddock for a relaxed seasonal high tea. Expect warm scones, autumn cakes, savoury tarts and simple dishes inspired by the garden and the surrounding region, served with tea, coffee and good conversation. We will also have the outdoor fire going, and anyone who feels like it is welcome to toast a marshmallow.

Held during the Tenterfield Autumn Festival, this gathering is a chance to step just beyond the town and experience the beauty of the season on the land — crisp air, autumn gardens and a table shared in the paddock.

It’s a small and intimate gathering designed to offer visitors a glimpse of life on the farm and the quiet beauty of autumn in the countryside.

Knitting by the Fire

Date: Saturday, 18th April 2026
Time: 10.30am to 2.30pm
Cost: Adults $195
Includes: Tour of our farm, morning tea, lunch, ball of wool, knitting needles, knitting pattern and workshop
Location: 15 minute drive from Tenterfield NSW

Join us for a slow day on the farm learning the simple pleasures of knitting by the fire.

This small and relaxed workshop is designed for anyone who would like to learn the fundamentals of knitting or spend time improving their skills in a calm and welcoming setting. I’m no expert, but knitting has been a quiet companion of mine for over fifteen years and I’d love to share what I’ve learned along the way.

We’ll gather around the fire and work through the basics together, using my simple beanie pattern as our guide. Your workshop includes the knitting pattern, wool and a pair of knitting needles so you can continue your project at home.

The day will also include morning tea, a warming lunch of homemade soup and fresh focaccia, and endless cups of tea and coffee as we sit together and knit.

We’ll also take a gentle wander around the farm, visiting the vegetable garden, chickens and paddocks, and sharing a little about life here at A Plot in Common.

This workshop will be limited to a small group so the day can remain relaxed and everyone has time to learn at their own pace.
