Located in Forrestdale, 11 Acre Farm is a working regenerative farm, cafe and hospitality venue where great coffee, good food and genuine hospitality come together. We have both a restaurant, The Good Paddock, and takeaway outlet, Cubby Kiosk.

• Can work autonomously and take initiative
• Is confident working in a fast-paced environment
• Has excellent communication and customer service skills
• Enjoys working both behind the bar and on the restaurant floor
• Works well as part of a team and is happy to jump in wherever needed
• Is reliable, organised and professional
• Is looking for a long-term opportunity

You’ll be an important part of both our coffee and restaurant teams, with the opportunity to help shape the way we grow.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Have you tried our hot honey focaccia?
Not your average focaccia, our clever chefs add cooked potato to the dough to keep it soft and moist. They then give it a super generous drizzle of our house made hot honey, with chilli straight from the market garden and local wild jarrah honey.

Cooked to absolute perfection, then finished over fire, and served with our salt bush butter.

Come for the farm, stay for the focaccia 🤌

A little look back at the end of our winter harvest..

Pumpkins, freshly pulled turnips, broccoli heads forming, glossy eggplants and fennel. These are the last little glimpses of winter in our market garden as we begin to turn the page to a new growing season.

These winter crops have had their moment in the sun (and rain), we’re looking forward to seeing what the warmer months bring.

From our garden to the kitchen at The Good Paddock, this is where the story of seasonal food begins.

As the weather starts to shift, so does the harvest.

The seasons are slowly changing here at the farm, bringing new ingredients, new flavours and plenty of inspiration into the kitchen.

We can’t wait to see what creative dishes Fendi dreams up with the changing seasons.

Choose from our Feed Me options and let dinner take care of itself.
Perfect for long lunches, celebrations, catch-ups and tables who simply want to try a little bit of everything.

Walk the farm, then eat from it.

Wander & Feast is our farm-to-table experience that brings together the two things at the heart of The Good Paddock: the farm and the food.

Start with a guided walk through 11 Acre Farm, then settle in at The Good Paddock for a seasonal feast built around what we're growing and what's looking best right now.

It's more than lunch. It's a chance to understand where your food comes from before you sit down to eat it.

Wander & Feast bookings are now open.

Perfect for visitors, food lovers and anyone who wants to experience 11 Acre Farm a little differently.

Thinking about visiting this weekend?

Here's your friendly reminder to book ahead.

Our weekend services regularly fill up, particularly when the weather is looking beautiful and everyone has the same idea: farm, food and a long lunch.

If you've got a date in mind, we'd recommend securing your table early.

And if the weekend is already looking busy, don't forget we're open Wednesday–Friday too.

Seasonal menu. Farm setting. Good reason to get out of the house.

Your midweek deserves a little more.
You don't have to wait until Saturday to a visit to the Farm a part of the plan.

Join us Wednesday, Thursday or Friday for a long lunch, a catch-up with friends, a special occasion or simply a very good reason to leave the office.

Seasonal food, fresh farm produce and plenty of room to slow down.

Midweek bookings are available now.

Why wait for the weekend?
