About
The Farm Cafe sits within Collingwood Children's Farm on a bend of the Yarra River in Abbotsford, just a few kilometres from central Melbourne. It's a light, plant-filled space serving modern café food and good coffee seven days a week, with indoor seating and outdoor picnic-style dining by the Barn kiosk overlooking the farm paddocks.
The rustic, pastoral setting also makes it a popular venue beyond casual dining — the cafe hosts weddings, celebrations and corporate events, offers catering, and has a small shop and gift vouchers. It's a relaxed spot to combine a farm visit with breakfast or lunch.
