Tempt The Tastebuds and Pamper the Body
Jams and preserves made from home grown fruit and berries, oils, lotions, and creams are all available and made here in Pemberton. On your leisurely drives lookout for roadside stalls offering fresh fruit and vegetables.

...and for the One That Cant Get Away
Pembertons cool climate and abundant fresh water make it ideal for raising trout and marron (a local freshwater crayfish). You can purchase your marron or trout direct from the farms or catch your own trout in the farm ponds. To find out more about trout and marron take a tour around the farms.
