There's a rhythm to life at our house on the lake - a sequence of ongoing daily rituals... Bread is rolled, fresh flowers are arranged, coffee is ground, tables are set. Mountains of fresh produce come through the kitchen doors, borne by proud suppliers. Cooks butcher, peel and chop. The rhythm continues on through the day into the evening, with the soft murmur of guests and the clink of glasses. Final lights out offers a mere few hours respite before the bakers return and the rhythm resumes once again.

Up on the Farm. Paddock to plate will soon have a luxurious new incarnation in Daylesford, Victoria.

Story by Christine Mccabe.

Farm to plate will soon have a luxurious new incarnation at Dairy Flat Farm and Lodge, courtesy the team behind Victoria’s iconic Lake House gourmet retreat, the Wolf-Tasker family.
Opening early 2020 on a 15ha regenerative farm with established gardens just 6km from the Lake House in Daylesford, the exclusive-use, luxury lodge will sleep up to 14 in six ensuite bedrooms with a live-in concierge to organise the ultimate farm experience.
Dairy Flat Farm includes an extensive vegetable garden, olive grove, orchard with 350 heritage fruit trees, beehives and bake house; enabling guests to immerse themselves in the day-to-day life of the property attending workshops on gardening, baking and bee keeping.
Guests can observe or “dive deep depending on their level of interest in getting their hands dirty”, says Lake House co-owner and Culinary Director Alla Wolf-Tasker AM.
But in true Wolf-Tasker style there will be cocktails at the end of each day and an enviable apres farm atmosphere in the urbane lodge, which had its own cellar, custom furniture and commissioned artworks including paintings by Allan Wolf-Tasker and lush botanical paintings by Alessandro Ljubicic.
The farm was established to supply the Lake House kitchens and provide an exciting laboratory for experimenting with unusual varieties. The onsite bake house is up and running also operated in collaboration with Michael James, formerly of Melbourne’s Tivoli Road Bakery, and supplying slow-fermented sourdough breads and pastries to the Lake House and sister café Wombat Hill House in the Botanic Gardens in Daylesford.
