HAWKES HISTORY

Hawkes hands since 1890s

Hawkes History

6 generations of respect, knowledge and care

Hawkes hands have grown Victorian fruit and vegetables for more than 100 years. Today, our iconic Kipfler potatoes are in restaurants across Australia. Turning off Boneo Road, the sandy earth drive passes pick ‘n’ ride tour trailers, regeneratively-farmed paddocks, and a 1970s tractor for kids to play on.

Open 8am – 5pm daily, Hawkes Farm Market – once bags of spuds and an honesty box – is now a one-stop shop for the best of local produce.

Weekends at Hawkes

Saturdays and Sundays (not public holidays) means hot chips, Hawkes baked potatoes and croque monsieur all year round. Serving coffee and Peninsula Pantry sweets (prepared on site) from 9am, cooked food is available from 10am!

Check the seasonal menus for when we're serving Hawkes corn or strawberries, farm-made soups, smoothies – or local heroes Vulcano Gelato. (Please note, these are not all always available.)

The Farm Market counter also pours Little Rebel coffee, juices, pies and sweets 7 days a week 8am – 5pm.
