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.

“When we took over the property, it needed a lot of love. Inside The Lodge, we basically started from scratch. Dad and I worked on rebuilding to create our vision” – Larissa.

1.  Crates of produce provide a feast for the eyes and the stomach with beans, zucchini, leafy greens and squash.
2.  Parsley is grown alongside basil, mint, lemon balm, lemon verbena, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme.
3.  In an array of hues, rainbow chard is as beautiful as it is delicious.
4.  Radishes have a wonderfully sharp and distinctive peppery flavour.
5.  Alpacas help care for the farm’s sheep, including Cliffy who is always front and centre to greet guests.
6.  Kohlrabi is not the prettiest or most well-known vegetable but it is tasty.
7.  A variety of tomatoes are grown.
8.  Freshly picked green beans.
