Cultural Experiences
G’day Mates,
Have you ever visited the Carolina Eucalyptus Festival? If you missed last year's event, we’ll be hosting this year's event over the July 4th weekend! Don’t be a bludger. Stop by and experience a bit of the outback as you pick your own fresh Eucalyptus straight from the farm on a bloody hot summer day!!
Bring your family and friends to experience the serenity of our farm, where you can pick your own fresh bundles and sample the essential oils we steam distill on-site. If you want to add a eucalyptus tree to your yard, we currently have six different species in container sizes ranging from 2” to 3 gallons.
Don’t forget to bring your hat, water, sunscreen, and a sense of adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned picker or a first-timer, we promise a ripper of a day! You can even bring your koala bears, so long as they’re on leash, Lol
See you at the farm, and don’t be a galah - mark your calendar!!
