ON THE FARM - An Evening With The Owls

This is undoubtedly a highlight for all our guests that have attended this special event. An Evening with the Owls is one event that you do not want to miss. The night starts with our famous Awassi Cheeseboards and Awassi lamb burgers. As the lights go down we all get ready for the Owls to take centre stage.

Jason will educate you about these amazing creatures and the Owls will entertain you with individual prowess.  We limit our numbers to this event to ensure that you are up close and personal to these majestic birds. Individual photos are available after the show. Our evening concludes with our Awassi Ice Cream – dare we say this is also a HOOT!.

ON THE FARM – Big Fat Lamb Lunch 

What a way to experience all that Awassi Cheesery has to offer. Our long table lunch is certainly the highlight of each month. We offer the ultimate ‘Paddock to Plate ‘ experience. Sharing food and friends in the Avocado Orchard is certainly a great way to spend a day on the farm.

Our menu consists of six courses of fabulous farm produce. Our Awassi Lamb is the highlight of this special menu – slow cooked for 12 hours, it will melt in your mouth.  Other signature Awassi dishes include our Awassi baked Cheesecakes, and our special Awassi Blue Pecorino – served with our naturally harvested honey combe.

Partway through our lunch, we take you on a tour around the farm and the Cheese room, we love sharing our beautiful farm with beautiful people.

A little love from our guests.

Delicious cheeses to try in a lovely setting.

"Loved seeing the Awassi sheep being milked (whilst their lambs set up a cacophony of bleating "Muuumm"). A very relaxing lunch tasting the various cheeses under the flowering avocado tree. David and Di are amazingly busy but producing a delicious product. We came home with some cheeses and a jar of their delicious honey.
Well worth the visit on our way home to Brisbane from Toowoomba."

Evening With Owls

"Special Event - Evening with Owls.
A wonderful night, great food/cheese/ice cream all from farm produce. The experience with the Owls only added to an event well worth going to. Host and Hostess and staff were all so friendly."

Perfect

"We decided to visit Awassi Cheesery spur of the moment. We enjoyed every moment. From the relaxed Rural setting to the stunning avocado trees on the property topped off by the divine cheeses that complimented our byo wine perfectly. I even got the chance to feed a baby sheep. The owners are friendly and accommodating. 5 out of 5 for me."

Gourmet Sheep Cheeses

"Enjoyed our visit to Awassi. We sat under the mature avocado trees and nibbled at the fare. We had to supply our own drinks, tea and coffee are available. Apart from the gravel road, it was a beautiful drive to get there. The team were friendly and knowledgeable and the service was laid back and suited the atmosphere.
It was a fantastic way to spend the day."
