Discover the flavors and stories behind North Carolina’s craft gin at Husk Farm Distillery. Join a guided tasting that elevates your spirits knowledge in a charming, historic setting.
Husk Farm Distillery is a single‑estate distillery located in North Tumbulgum, New South Wales, operating on a 150‑acre working sugarcane farm. The distillery produces cane juice rum and Ink Gin, a naturally color‑changing gin, using sugarcane grown and processed on site. Visitors can explore the farm-to-bottle process during guided tours that explain distillation, sustainable farming practices, and on‑site production methods.
Tours and experiences include guided multi‑spirit tastings, a hands‑on farm-to-bottle rum workshop, an Ink Gin distillation walk, and seasonal events such as the Husk Rum Harvest Fest. Tastings are led by knowledgeable guides who introduce the history, botanicals, and sensory techniques for appreciating rum and gin. Distillery tours offer behind‑the‑scenes access to production areas and explain the single‑estate approach where sugarcane becomes finished spirit on the same property.
The property emphasizes sustainable practices and showcases how raw cane is harvested, juiced, and fermented before distillation. Guests can participate in practical activities like juicing cane and learning traditional harvesting techniques in select experiences. The venue combines educational elements with sensory tasting sessions to deliver an immersive visit.
Husk Farm Distillery operates as a destination for visitors interested in craft spirits, agricultural production, and experiential tourism. The combination of a large working farm, hands‑on activities, and curated tastings makes the distillery a notable example of farm-based spirit production in the Northern Rivers region. Staff maintain safety and hospitality standards, and experiences accommodate groups, private bookings, and event catering on request. Bookings are available year-round with seasonal programming and festival weekends on-site activities.
