Husk Farm Distillery

We recently did the tour at Husk Farm Distillery with close friends and it was beyond what we expected. Fun, educational, informative and such a beautiful experience from start to finish. Mark was a fantastic guide, sharing the history of Husk, the growing of the cane and the full process from harvesting through to distilling and bottling. It was fascinating learning how much care and craftsmanship goes into every bottle. We were welcomed with a drink under the umbrellas overlooking the paddocks, cows, cane fields and beautiful gardens. Such a relaxing setting. The grounds are stunning, filled with botanicals they use in their gin and rum blends. The Ink Gin was amazing and although I’ve never been much of a rum drinker, thanks to a few bad younger year experiences like many of us 😂, I can honestly say I’ve been converted. The Husk Rare Blend and Coconut Rum were my favourites. After the tour we enjoyed the Farm Feast set menu lunch and added the hot honey halloumi. Wow, wow and wow. The food, drinks and service were all fabulous. We’ve visited before on busy weekends, but going on a Wednesday was perfect. Peaceful, relaxed and we could really savour the flavours and warm atmosphere. Even with the cool rainy weather, it was comfortable and well organised, with umbrellas provided for the outdoor sections of the tour. A beautiful day out and highly recommended for anyone wanting a unique Northern Rivers experience.

Experienced the Husk Farm Distillery for the first time ever last week for Easter Sunday. Unfortunately our booking wasn't without a few hiccups. The staff were lovely and even with the delay in having to line up even though we had a booking, the staff handled everything perfectly and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes over our booking time. We had a couple of bites to share together, but my highlight for sure was the drinks on offer. The white rum with pineapple drink I had was just superb. The weather was pristine and the atmosphere matched it. Will definitely be back!
