THE FARM
The story so far…
Brymworth Farm is located just north of Emita on the west coast of Flinders Island. It is a small family farm owned by Mark & Sophie Pitchford.
The inspiration of growing organic garlic stemmed from the Wild Elephant Garlic that grows so profusely here on the Island. Motivated by the desire to be self-sufficient, Brymworth Farm has evolved into a viable business built up over the last thirteen years.
Brymworth Farm is well known for it's Flinders Island Purple Garlic. Whilst there have been other varieties grown over the years, the one garlic that never lets us down is the purple and has proven to be the most popular variety with our loyal customers.
Brymworth Farm grew a trial plot of capers in 2017. The crop has been extended over the last few years and we now have 200 caper plants. Capers take some years to mature before they produce a yield and we are looking forward to our first substantial yield in 2021/22.
In addition to the capers, we have extended the farming operations over the last few years by acquiring another farm which we run about 4500 merinos and a number of cattle on. Whilst life is extremely busy, we are very blessed to be following our dreams as a family and living in a magical part of the world.
We hope you enjoy Brymworth Farm Garlic as much as we enjoy growing it and look forward to introducing our capers into the market.
