Tathra Homestead is a family-owned Australian business operated by three generations of the Darmody family on a property in the Barossa Valley named “Tathra,” meaning “beautiful country” in an Aboriginal language. The family grows extra virgin olive oil, fresh vegetables, herbs, free-range eggs, and artisan food products, focussing on biodiversity and chemical-free practices. They are certified members of the Australian Olive Association, adhering to its Olivecare code of practice, and have spent over 25 years restoring native plants and animals to their land.
