Sustainable & Organic
Organically grown, sustainable practices, off-grid farming
ORGANIC
Organically cultivated truffles are rare, and for good reason. Weed management by hand is quite the commitment, as is not using any ‘additives’ to the soil (even those labelled ‘organic’.)
We believe the effort to maintain a sustainable truffle farm has been worth the intense aromas and taste of The Truffle Barn truffles.
SUSTAINABLE
We are passionate about caring for our planet. The Truffle Barn is a 100% off-grid, small scale farm. The truffle farm is irrigated using captured rain water and the farm is completely powered by solar.
The Truffle Barn uses packaging that is suitable for home composting or can be recycled.
TRUFFLE ORCHARD
The Truffle Barn is a boutique truffiere with 2 varieties of trees, French Oak which hosts the Australian Black Truffle (tuber melanosporum) and Italian Stone Pine which hosts the bianchetto (tuber borchii).
The first trees were planted in 2016 and a second round of trees were planted in 2017.
The organic black and bianchetto truffles are harvested with the help of our truffle dogs between June and October.
