FEast
" Cooking like nature intended — slow, smokey, soulful.
Cooking over fire isn’t just about food — it’s about gathering, sharing, and tasting the warmth of simple pleasures made extraordinary."
Welcome to 1000 Reasons Cafe
1000 Reasons Café offers a relaxed, picnic-style experience in the heart of the Adelaide Hills. Set on our 32-acre working farm, our venue is designed for couples, families (including furry friends), small groups, and those simply seeking a place to unwind in nature. With ample outdoor space, shady trees, and a fully licensed venue accommodating up to 100 guests, there's always room to stretch out and stay awhile.
Our seasonal offerings are packed with fire-licked flavour, crafted from the freshest ingredients grown right here on our farm or sourced from passionate local producers. From house-roasted coffee and signature cakes to generous shared platters and hearty brunches — there's something here for every appetite.
Discover something truly special at 1000 Reasons.
Throughout the year, we host a series of exclusive pop-up feasts, guest chef experiences, and immersive cooking classes that celebrate creativity, flavour, and connection.
For private celebrations, we also welcome you to bring your own caterers or event partners, giving you the freedom to curate an unforgettable occasion that reflects your vision — all within the relaxed elegance of our unique Adelaide Hills setting.
Don’t forget to explore our farmhouse Providore while you are here, stocked with artisanal goods, pantry essentials, and fresh produce — perfect for picnics, gifts and recreating our flavours at home.
