Relocated in late 2019 to include an excellent cafe and boutique accommodation, Barker's is a long-standing producer of favourite fruity preserves, including raspberry jam, tamarillo chutney and cherry juice. It's the perfect spot to stock up on picnic essentials or enjoy excellent cafe fare. Try the lamb burger or a tasting platter ($25 to $45) with a selection of Barker's products.
