Hello, I'm Jenny M.

Welcome to my truffle farm in Red Hill! My connection to this land runs deep - our family property dates back five generations on the picturesque Mornington Peninsula. In my grandparents’ day​,​ these rolling hills were covered in cherry and apple orchards. But in 2003​,​ I decided to take a leap of faith on a section of the land and plant truffles: a notoriously slow-growing and unpredictable crop. I planted my first trees in 2005​,​ and after years of patience​,​ care​,​ and anticipation​,​ I dug up my very first truffle in 2010. We are Mornington Peninsula’s original truffle-hunting farm - a true family-operated working property where we bring all the intrigue​,​ drama​,​ romance​,​ and culinary magic of European truffles straight to an Australian setting. Taking visitors into the truffière is genuinely one of my absolute favourite parts of working on the farm. I love when people ask questions​,​ get curious​,​ and immerse themselves in the world of fungi. Whether you’re led by me​,​ my partner Mike​,​ our children or one of our passionate team members���,​ you’ll also be working alongside our stars of the show - our specially trained English Springer Spaniels​,​ like Maddie and Lizzie​,​ who sniff out the ripe truffles hidden beneath the soil. So grab your gumboots​,​ prepare to smell the rich earth​,​ and get your hands dirty for a hands-on U-pick experience just an hour from the Melbourne CBD!
