Fork N Farm Homestead
Fork N Farm Homestead is a gorgeous 24 acre farm stay located at 91 Blackberrys Road in West Tamar, Tasmania. The homestead is a 35 minute drive north-west of Launceston and offers cabins, with space for a few fully self-contained caravans or RVs.
This place is an artisans delight, with regular culinary courses that teach you to make sourdough, cheese, sausages, even soap! There’s an abundant fruit and veggie patch, and a warm welcoming atmosphere that can’t help but give you the warm fuzzies.
If you’re wanting to stay at this site, call ahead to ensure they can accommodate you, and remember that campers who don’t have their own toilet will be turned away.

General Comments
The owners at the Fork N Farm Homestead were such nice people! They introduced themselves and gave us a beer on arrival, and just generally made us feel very welcome.
The location was nestled into the undulating hills of northern Tasmania, with a green landscape as far as the eye could see. We stayed to experience the farm stay and loved every minute of it. We have friends who attended the food workshops (which we would have loved to do, but a social gathering elsewhere prevented us from hanging around) and they had a ball. You can check out all their upcoming workshops here if you’re interested.
There was no power, water, toilets or dump point at this site, and the gravel access road into the homestead was quite steep. There was a bus that got stuck there a few weeks before our arrival, so we’d suggest big bigs and 2WD vehicles use caution and perhaps contact the owners – especially if it’s wet.
Fires were allowed and they even provided free firewood.
If you’re looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy the gorgeous landscape of northern Tasmania, then this is your place.
