Description
At Simply Tomatoes, Ian and Marilyn Lanyon give you the chance to see what happens when innovation and creativity meet rural enterprise. With a lifetime of farming experience they’ve pretty much seen and done it all and delight in the opportunity to share it with you.
There’s a delicious plate of tastings before a short walking tour to see where and how Simply Tomatoes' products are made. They also manufacture Aussie Wool Quilts, 100% natural wool bedding, and Woolly Warmers - Therapeutic Heat / Cold pads.
Meet Cheeky the cockatiel and the gaggle of honking geese as you wander around the beautiful 1880s gardens and homestead.
Visiting their farm in Victoria's Loddon Valley also gives you a great little window into how things have changed over the years from good old wheat and sheep to the development of technology and manufacturing including tractors with satellite navigation.
They also offer guided half and full day tours around Boort's hidden treasures. Discover the amazing Spanner Man’s Sculpture garden and an eco-friendly boutique olive grove, to name just two. Please phone for more information and a personalised service or go to the website and click on the "Tourism" tab.
Accommodation: Simply Tomatoes is an official RV friendly site, so you can bring your van and camp at the farm for a night or two.
So whether you would like to visit, have a tour or stay the night, Simply Tomatoes and Aussie Wool Quilts-Boort has simply got it all for you!
Just give them a call before you pop out so they can put the kettle on!
