Chrissy enjoys some exquisite meals and connects with nature at the 11 Acres Forestdale Farm.
- 11 Acre Farm is a family-friendly working farm located on Nicholson Road in Forrestdale, around 30 minutes south-east of Perth.
- The farm was transformed by the Erceg family after they acquired a neglected rural property in 2020 and redeveloped it into a regenerative farming destination.
- The property operates using permaculture and syntropic agroforestry principles, focusing on soil regeneration, biodiversity and sustainable food production.
- More than 90 per cent of the materials used in the farm's buildings, play areas and structures have been recycled or upcycled.
- Visitors can interact with rescued farm animals, including goats, chickens and other friendly livestock as part of the farm experience.
- The site features paddock-to-plate dining, with produce grown on the farm supplying its restaurant and café experiences.
- The farm hosts workshops covering topics such as sourdough baking, fermentation, gardening, composting and sustainable living skills.
- A restored former chicken shed known as "The Fieldhouse" now serves as a rustic venue for workshops, private events, photography shoots and community gatherings.
