From farm shop to food legend
In 1979, Maggie Beer, a household name in Australia and a food writer, and her husband Colin founded a farm shop in Barossa. The wooden shelves are filled with handmade jams, and jars of them are sealed with the sunshine and monsoon of South Australia. At that time, Maggie might not have thought that this small farm shop would become a shining star in the Australian food industry in the future.
As word of mouth spread about handmade food, the farm shop gradually evolved into the famous Barossa Pheasant Farm restaurant. Conquering the taste buds of countless diners with special sauces also opened a chapter in Maggie&#39;s legendary food career. From cooking sauces by herself to becoming a well-known cooking show host, this &quot;apron queen&quot; has spent forty years writing her love of life into recipes, making ordinary life bloom.
Enter the magic kitchen on TV
The interactive cooking demonstration on the farm is the first key to unlock Maggie&#39;s food universe. Walking into the open kitchen of the farm, stoneware bowls and copper-handled knives are placed on the long wooden table, and the cast iron pot is bubbling on the stove. This is the recording location of the program &quot;The Cook and the Chef&quot;, where Maggie and Chef Simon Bryant collided with countless sparks of inspiration.
With a glass of non-alcoholic sparkling drink as a prelude, the professional guide will take you back to the story of the farm for forty years; then step into the kitchen of &quot;The Cook and the Chef&quot; to watch a special cooking demonstration brought by Maggie&#39;s team, and watch the chef turn the ingredients of the four seasons into seasonal dishes. There is no showmanship of molecular cuisine here, only a frank dialogue between ingredients and heat, which makes simple food glow with a warm taste.
Improve your cooking skills in cooking
Walk to the farm shop restaurant (The Farm Eatery), where the atmosphere is warm and comfortable - no formal dress code, no complicated table manners, only a long wooden table, the breeze blowing the grapevines outside the window, and a group of people gathered for food.
Tie an apron, you will use fresh produce to cook under the guidance of Maggie&#39;s team, learn the skills of making seasonal dishes, and get practical cooking tips. Sharing food with relatives and friends has been the source of inspiration for Maggie&#39;s cooking for many years. Whether it is a sumptuous banquet or a simple bowl of thick soup in the kitchen, what really moves people is the love and companionship poured into it - the kitchen is not only a battlefield for firewood, rice, oil and salt, but also a bridge for emotional communication.
Unlock multiple wine tasting experiences
Maggie and his wife have been making wine for more than 40 years. If you make a reservation in advance, you can taste 4 fine wines from Pheasant Farm Wines (Pheasant Farm Wines), and you can also choose a delicious and rich cheese platter, overlooking the dam scenery beside the farm, and quietly savor the charm of the terroir of Barossa.
If you love spirits, you can&#39;t miss the gin here. Not only can you taste 3 ready-made Barossa gins, you can also make your own cocktails, mix your own flavor, and experience a different flavor collision.
Beautiful accommodation experience in the countryside
Maggie&#39;s Orchard House has two bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, and can accommodate up to 4 adults comfortably. The kitchen is spacious and bright, and is equipped with a variety of kitchen appliances selected by Maggie, providing an ideal space for food lovers to show their cooking skills. In addition, guests can enjoy the fun of outdoor cooking in the dedicated barbecue area, overlooking the orchard, while strolling among the fruit trees in season, picking fresh and ripe fruits such as apricots, peaches, nectarines or apples.
