Opened in 2021 as a pop-up café servicing the residents of Newenham, Kitchen Farm Pantry is now a thriving , rustic café, produce store and event space operating out of the beautifully restored barn and garage at Newenham.
Offering delicious roasted coffee and hearty brunch items like fresh lamb shank pies, savoury pastries, gourmet toasties and bruschetta’s, indulgent white chocolate dumplings, weekly brunch specials and a range of other sweet and savoury treats.
Our very own Sales and Marketing Director, and now owner of Kitchen Farm Pantry, Olivia Burke explained “Kitchen Farm Pantry is a place for friends and family to come together, eat, share stories and create memories”.
“The Pantry was given life from the idea that the kitchen is the heart of the home, a feeling we hope to provide our guests when visiting and experiencing our relaxed countryside space’.
With a warm and rustic setting reflective of the beautiful Adelaide Hills environment we are surrounded by, the Pantry has been designed to be family and dog friendly, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for everyone to enjoy, including fires to keep guests toasty throughout the colder months.
Kitchen Farm Pantry is one arm of the Kitchen Farm Adelaide Hills brand, a project delivering the regenerative farm and community focused opportunities, located on 8 hectares of land within Newenham.
The vision is to connect the Pantry and Farm to deliver a paddock-to-plate experience and allow people from Newenham and the broader community to connect with each other and the environment by offering meaningful food experiences, farm education, farm tours, workshops, wellbeing practices and unique events and experiences.
The farm is taking baby-steps but can proudly say it is already propagating thousands of plants in a pop-up nursery to plant in Newenham’s verges this Spring. With the aim to help enrich the environment through improving the bio-diversity in the streetscapes, bringing in beneficial insects to assist with pollination and ultimately contribute to the wellbeing of the environment and the community. It is envisaged that we will soon be able to sell these home-grown plants at the Pantry too.
The market garden element of the Farm is still within its planning phase, but will soon supply fresh produce, grown from the heart, directly to the Pantry.
In the meantime, guests can visit the Pantry to buy farm fresh regeneratively grown eggs, locally baked sourdough breads, local organic seasonal fruits, and beautiful native flowers. As well as browsing through the art on display by emerging local artists or attending some of the regular community events held.
Kitchen Farm Pantry is open seven days a week Monday – Friday: 8am – 3pm and Saturday & Sunday: 8am – 3:30pm.
