    I stayed at Back 2 Earth with my friend who won a 2-night mid-week accommodation stay through Yelp (thank you)!
    We were greeted by Jenny and Marc in the afternoon and spent 2 hours with them hand-feeding all of their adorable animals - it was heaven. We stayed in the 4-person "cottage" which was really nice and modern, yet still rustic.

    Back 2 Earth is only a few minutes drive from the lovely town of Berry where there are plenty of shops, restaurants and things to do for a quiet getaway. I highly recommend to stay at the farm, not only for a different experience but for the beautiful scenery - how's the serenity?

    On our last morning Marc made us a vegan breakfast and a hand-picked pot of tea from the garden - I could honestly eat that brekkie every day (please see photos).

    What a delight it was to get shown around the farm and eat delicious fresh raw, vegan food.

    I went here for a yelp elite event and the owners told us about their process of saving and raising rescue animals and growing and making vegan food.

    Mark made the most amazing zoodle dish (zucchini noodles) with a cashew basil sauce. It was delicious. The desert was also unreal. Vegan meringue made with chickpea brine, maple syrup and cream of tartar (a thickening agent) covered with a cashew passion fruit yogurt and fresh oranges and pineapple.

    I have never eaten so well without feeling sick afterwards (I have many food sensitivities like dairy and gluten so this works for me).

    They do retreats and workshops, offer massages and have a float tank. Their animals range from ducks and dicks to alpacas and mini horses and they have many accommodation rooms.

    It was a pleasure seeing all they had to offer!

    An afternoon at "Back 2 Earth" was a total pleasure. A group of Yelpers were invited to look at this lovely place and we were taken back by the friendliness of the owners and the information that they shared. The information on healthy living and looking after yourself through "raw food eating" was excellent. I learnt how to prepare some great dishes and the lunch provided by the owners was fabulous.

    Walking through the grounds and checking out all the furry critters was a delight also. What a range of animals! This would be a lovely spot for a family stay who would like a kick start with a healthy lifestyle.

    Its not often you get to hang out on a vegan farm all day, eating, soaking in the beautiful landscape and playing with animals. It was a Yelp event that brought about 30 of us city dwellers to the sticks for some healthy Sunday Funday. Thanks to Yelp I got to bring a plus 1 (husband) with me out to Berry who is a big fan of goats and there were three.

    What a lovely story Marc and Jenny have about maintaining a healthy lifestyle with food. I devoured about four platefuls of the zucchini noodles in pesto/cashew sauce, the cauliflower biriani, quinoa salad (the only product that was cooked), raw vegan curry and lastly the amazing- how did they even do it - meringues made from the juice of chickpeas with pops of pomegranate, pineapple and other fruits with a vegan yogurt.  

    Its places like Back 2 Earth that help you get back to center physically, mentally and spiritually.
    Please take a weekend to visit and stay with Marc and Jenny on their farm, you'll get also an opportunity for massages and the sensory deprivation bath.  They have a number of cottages on the land to stay all cutely decorated!

    The perfect weekend getaway spot to revive & renew your mind, body & spirit. This amazing business is the love child of Jenny & Marc who created a business out of a change in their own  lifestyles & now they're sharing it with us all...

    Its a one stop shop for the perfect R&R. Come here & stay at the various boutique cottages housing anywhere from 1 to 7 people & a total of about 14 on the entire property. Organise your corporate team building events, yoga retreat or just take the kids down for a weekend to take them away from all the techy stuff & get back to basics with the friendly rescued farm animals.

    Have your stay catered for devouring in MasterChef Marc's delish raw vegan specialties. If you've never had raw vegan don't be scared or turned off. Marc will definitely win you over with his Zoodles - Zucchini Pasta with Basil Cashew Cream, an array of tasty healthy salads & even an amazing dessert. It will definitely give you a new perspective on healthy mindful food!

    But if it ain't for you Back 2 Earth caters to all requests, so if raw vegan cuisine is not your cuppa tea, the Berry eat street is just down the road. Jenny & Marc are super cool, inviting & chilled... whatever it is you want just drop them a line & they'll tailor something up to suit your needs.

    Thanks Marc and Jenny for their warm hospitality. It's our first ever raw vegan experience and we really loved the food! Having the food in its raw form really brings everything back to basic. Breaking out the essence of food that nourishes the soul.

    Marc even showed us how easy it is to make some healthy and delicious zucchini noodles with milky cashew sauce. All you need is some creativity and openness to a refreshing way to prepare food.

    The back to earth farm is surrounded by lush bushlands and an air of serenity. We loved the mountain view and how it interacts with the ever changing clouds.

    The farm animals are all so tame and well loved. You can see the joy in their eyes. I think kids will love the experience of hanging out with them! There is a wide diversity of animals such as pygmy horses, alpacas, goats, goats, etc. and of course, visitors will be greeted warmly by the two doggies Smudgie and Ebony as they arrive.

    The location, scenery, and property keepers will warm every bit of your heart. The drive is scenic, the accommodation is adorable (not super spacious but fitting and nicely sized), feels newly renovated, and screams comfy / "Relax in me." The animals are friendly and have good stories - you can get lost with them and time really doesn't matter.

    The food is gorgeous - what an inspiration and learning! I never knew you could make so many dishes with raw eating. You will feel 10x better about yourself after eating their unique treats.

    Ideal spot for a yoga retreat or weekend getaway for laid back, non-party groups or couples looking to relax and/or in need of a reset due to stress. Fantastic place for reflection & meditation. Not much for activities so get ready to sit and enjoy beauty, good vibes, and good conversation.

    Not just for those with a vegan flavour, and if you've never tried before, a day here may just change your mind.
    I had the absolute pleasure to dine here for lunch at a table filled with color and pizzazz. Such a selection of amazing raw vegan food prepared by our glorious hosts Marc and Jenny. Beyond your regular salad, we had what could only be described as zucchini creamy pasta, as well as quinoa mix. And for dessert, and boy what a dessert, meringues with yogurt and fruit salad.
    "But that's not vegan!" I hear from the back of the room. It is when the meringues are chickpea based and the yogurt is from cashews. You have took try it to believe how good it is. All of it.
    Not only do they have food, but a whole lifestyle to match. Cozy accommodation with cute and friendly farm animals close by. A floating tank for the ultimate in isolation from everything but your own thoughts. Massages. Hot stone. Reiki.
    You will feel so relaxed that you will float away on a cloud by the end of your time there.
