in the beautiful farm surrounds of Yandee Homestead, Toodyay.This grand old porticoed

from the circular driveway. The meandering beds are filled with tree dahlias, buddleias
and hollyhocks and a new orchard has been planted. Climbing Gold Bunny and Whiskey
roses cover water tanks; there are quiet places to sit and admire the views, and well
established trees including old olives provide plenty of shade. The adjoining farm is home
to donkeys, sheep, alpacas and turkeys. Meet and talk to producers/growers whose delicious products will also be available to buy. Slow Food Perth will have freshly prepared lunch platters for sale, and there will also
be tea and coffee available. Talks by leaders of the Slow Food Perth Group at 11.00 am & 2.00 pm will offer an
opportunity to find out more about this world wide clean food movement. Wander through the gardens, talk to the farm animals and enjoy a good day out in the
country. There will also be an art exhibition in the shearing shed.
