In the Byron Bay hinterland sits Summerland farm, the beating heart of the region. Not only do they grow avocadoes and macadamias in vast orchards but they highlight the region’s other produce via their onsite providore. As Joh learns during a tour, there’s also a petting zoo with lots of animals and a high-end restaurant to make the most of all that fresh produce. Despite all that, it’s the fact the business employs over 100 disabled members of the community that really provides the most joy. So, while most farms grow food to nourish the body, this farm also nourishes the soul.
