Truffles

As a planned business diversification we planted 48 truffle innoculated trees in 2012. Additional trees were planted in 2013.

Truffles are a long term venture and the science is such that achieving a crop cannot be guaranteed. However, we spent six years preparing the soil under expert guidance and believe the terroir of Left Field to be well suited to this enterprise.

 

Update 2021

On 6 June 2021 we harvested our first truffle, found by Peri, one of a small pack of dogs trained by a commercial truffle finder. Peri returned in July and, to our delight, located further truffles that had matured in the intervening period. Our truffles, white Biancetto, (T. Borchii) were a good size.and we are looking forward to next season.
