25.01.2022 Timos Truffle Tonkatsu Ramen has been flying out the door! Plus we may have been enjoying a couple of bowls ourselves at the end of each day ! But there is still some left for today (should have seen the size of Timos pot!) - so if you havent tried it yet, you really should!! . . #truffledore #timostruffleramen #ramen #truffleramen #youneedtotrythis #trustmeonthis #getinmybelly

25.01.2022 Rainy days make good baking days! My truffled macarons are making a comeback this weekend as the rain finally provided some free time to spend in the kitchen! I know a few of you have been waiting for a while... Pistachio macarons with a truffled white chocolate ganache - available today (Friday) and Sunday 10-5pm. Bookings recommended for lunch but you can also drop in for a tasting and / or takeaway macarons! . .... #truffledore #trufflemacarons #macarons #macaroons #baking #rainydays #lunchspecial #weeklyspecial #takeaway #trufflelovers @ The Truffledore See more

24.01.2022 Lots of firsts for this little truffle snuffler! Our first short trip away with him, first snow, and today his first boat ride!!! Im a proud marine biologist fur mum! Took some coaxing to get him into the kayak but once he got his paws wet (pardon the pun) it was hard to get him back out! . . #codythetruffledog #waterdog #kayakdog #workingdogonvacation #getaway #brunyisland #holidayherethisyear #holidayhere #makeyourselfathome #tassietime #tasmaniansmithfield #tasmania #discovertasmania @ Bruny Island, Tasmania

23.01.2022 This one is for my dad (Hallo Papi!!) who puts so much love and work into our beautiful cottage garden every time he visits. We're sad that you're missing out on seeing all the spring beauty right now and can't wait until you and Mami will be able to visit again (and not just because we can't keep up with the weeding )!! . . #truffledore #codythetruffledog #farmstay #cottagegarden #flowers #spring #gloriousspring #gardening #family #missyou #covidsucks

23.01.2022 Good morning! Time for this weeks #lunchspecial! This one is a favourite winter comfort dish of ours: twice cooked smashed Kipfler potatoes with freshly picked rainbow chard out of the garden and a silky smooth and slightly tangy truffle dressing! Its a modification of a recipe from someone who has inspired us.... @agrariankitchen Available today (Friday) and Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Closed Saturday for our Hunt & Harvest!

21.01.2022 Yesterday we found these two cuties under our house!!! Explains why Cody has been acting strangely for the last week or two! As you can see they are very tame so we're wondering where they've come from or if anyone might be missing them?! The black and white one is female, the all black is male. Around 8-12 weeks old (we guess). Message us if they look familiar!

20.01.2022 Our new menu went down a treat last week! Come try some home cooked comfort food, lavished with fresh truffle!! Remember we're open Fridays and Sundays, closed Saturdays for our Truffle Hunts! . . #truffledore #truffleseason#freshtruffle #tassieoffseason #discovertasmania #northwesttasmania #winterintassie

19.01.2022 Well that was a big weekend! Lunch service, fully booked B&B and of course ... our Spring Family Feast! We had such a wonderful evening!! Thank you all for sharing food, laughs and great company! Of course I completely forgot to take photos throughout again so I've borrowed a few pics of the food from @dob11 . . #truffledore #truffledorefamilyfeast #family #thankyou #withlovebyinaandtim #greatcompany #bestcustomers #whenyourguestsarefriends

17.01.2022 Good morning and happy Thursday! Almost the weekend! This week were going with a lighter all-day-brunch kinda option for our weekly special. As truffle season is rapidly nearing its end for 2020, we couldnt let it pass without sharing my all time favourite way to enjoy fresh truffle.... The not-so-humble truffle omelette!! Always a hit with our B&B guests and I think youll enjoy it too! Open Friday and Sunday 10-5pm. Closed Saturday for our probably last Hunt & Harve...st this year. Table bookings highly recommended! . . #truffledore #lunchspecial #weeklyspecial #alldaybreakfast #brunch #omelette #truffleomelette #truffles #freshtruffle #almostgone #truffleseason #getinquick See more

16.01.2022 We've been commenting on how quickly our goslings are growing and how soon we won't be able to tell them apart from the adults any more.... But wait! A new clutch of 5 tiny yellow fluff balls!! Our geese have certainly done well this year, I think we have close to 20 goslings about now! Anyone want a goose or two??? . . #truffledore #farmstay #farmlife #geese #goslings #babyanimals #babygeese #fluffballs #socute

15.01.2022 Truffle season might be over but we still have our range of handmade small batch truffle products to get us through until next year! Now also available in a gift pack with our super cute new Truffledore enamel mug! Great fathers day present for those foodie dads.... Although nothing says "I you dad!" like a snuggly warm truffle heart beanie - expertly modelled here by Timos dad! Thanks Rusty! . . #truffledore #truffleproducts #enamelmug #beanie #gifts #fathersday #orspoilyourself #whenyoujustcantwaitfornextyear #trufflelovers

15.01.2022 Wow guys, what a big weekend! Aside from our truffle hunt, we served up 25 lots of ribs, countless truffle pizzas and completely sold out of macarons and crme brle! To be honest we are completely overwhelmed with how much all you locals have been supporting our little business the past few weeks!!! Were feeling the love big time and cant tell you how much we appreciate it! Hopefully the love we put into our food speaks louder than words! . . #truffledore #thankyou #thankful #flatout #supportlocalbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #food #foodies #ribs #somuchlove #withlovebyinaandtim @ The Truffledore

14.01.2022 For fathers day weekend were paying homage to Inas German dad with Schnitzel two ways! Choose between Wiener (Vienna) Schnitzel or Jger (Hunters) Schnitzel, which has a creamy mushroom sauce (that we may sneak a little truffle into )! Served with Inas mums potato salad. Goes great with a cold @buttonsbrewing Klsch! Bookings recommended for lunch, we have a couple of tables left for Sunday or beat the crowds and book on Friday or Saturday! . . #truffledore #fathersday #lunch #lunchspecial #weeklyspecial #schnitzel #wienerschnitzel #jgerschnitzel #potatosalad #schnitty #mansized #germanfood #treatdad

14.01.2022 Mother Nature lend us a massive helping hand today! The crazy southerly winds in the last two days have moved huge amounts of leaves off our truffière and against the northern fence line... So we used the last hour of daylight today to vacuum up the huge pile and move it out - amounts that would have taken us most of a day to pick up by going up and down the rows! Not to mention the massive benefit of not having to go anywhere near the brûlée where our truffles are ripening with big machinery! Our new leaf vacuum setup is certainly paying off in time and energy saved compared to last year's battle with the leaf blower and rakes!! Happy days! . . #truffledore #trufflefarming #farmlife #truffleseason #truffière #truffiere #mountainsofleaves #leaves #tasmac #kubota #billygoat

14.01.2022 For our lunch special this week, Timo is cooking up a potato and smoked ocean trout chowder, served with our freeze-dried truffle! Yum!! We also have white chocolate and Tassie berry muffins... On Saturday we will be closing a little bit earlier, at 3pm, as we've been invited to a food and wine evening @cradlemountainhotel ! It's a tough life.... . . #truffledore #lunchdate #lunchspecial #weeklyspecial #withlovebyinaandtim #trout #potato #chowder #soup #muffins #bookatable

13.01.2022 We've had requests for a pasta dish so this week's special is a favourite of ours... Garlic and chilli prawn pasta, with truffle butter sauce! Yum! We are open on Friday (public holiday) as well, just remember to book a table! And yes folks, the ribs as well as the ramen specials will be making a comeback in the next few weeks as well!!

12.01.2022 Its that time of the year again... End of truffle season = start of maintenance month! Thankfully we wont need anywhere near as big of a prune as last year on our English Oaks! Glad to have the competent help of @kmstreeservices again! And yes, we did give up on the leaf blowing! . . #truffledore #truffiere #maintenance #oaks #pruning #trufflefarm #trufflefarming #goodworkout #farmersdontneedgyms

11.01.2022 What an absolute stunner of a weekend! Tassie winter? I don't think so! Unfortunately the warmth is not helping our truffles ripen (we want frost!!) but certainly made for a beautiful day of truffle hunting yesterday! . . #truffledore #truffleseason #trufflehunting #trufflehunt #truffles #food #northwesttasmania #northernforage #discovertasmania

11.01.2022 Friendly faces...

11.01.2022 For this weeks lunch special were bringing back an old favourite that was always popular with our Hunt & Harvest guests last year... Timos fresh spinach pasta with creamy brown mushroom sauce! We may not have quite as much fresh truffle at this time of year but it will still be beautiful with our freeze-dried truffle and a drizzle of our natural truffle oil! Will try and get a better picture tomorrow .... Open Fri-Sun, 10am to 5pm. Bookings recommended! . . #truffledore #lunchspecial #lunch #weeklyspecial #weekend #lunchdate #pasta #vegetarian #spinach #mushroom #truffle

10.01.2022 Aaaand we're off!! Bit of a drizzly day but our intrepid Truffle Hunters braved the #TassieOffSeason weather and delivered the goods on our first Hunt and Harvest of 2021! Some beautiful truffles were carefully unearthed.... And then devoured during the 4 course truffle feast!

08.01.2022 What a glorious winter day for a late season truffle hunt today! With snow on the mountains in the distance it was certainly fresh this morning but the sun came to the party and we still found a few beautifully aromatic truffles! The season is definitely winding down quickly now but weve decided to open up one last tour next Saturday, the 29th! We already have a wait list but may have a couple last spots available so let us know ASAP if you dont want to miss out on this experience!! . . #truffledore #trufflehunt #huntandharvest #wintertruffle #endoftheseason #fourcourselunch #freshtruffle #experience #discovertasmania #northwesttasmania #cradletocoasttastingtrail #comedownforair #makeyourselfathome #holidayhere @ The Truffledore

01.01.2022 Our group of seven Hunt & Harvest-eers braved the cold today to experience the thrill of a truffle hunt. Some even got down on their knees to have a go at unearthing one themselves (good on you Mei!!)! I think they earned their mulled wine and their four course truffle feast afterwards! If you want to join us and experience this for yourself, you better hurry! Only a few short weeks left in the truffle season and we have only a few spots left on each of the 8th, 15th and 22nd of Aug! Call, email or enquire through the website to book! . . #truffledore #huntandharvest #trufflehunt #truffles #everydayweretrufflin #experience #holidayherethisyear #makeyourselfathome #tassieproduce #tassie #discovertasmania @ The Truffledore

01.01.2022 Big day for Cody today! He had his first engagement as a hired truffle dog today!! He got to search a young farm that shows promising signs but has not yet produced truffle. I was very impressed with how well he worked despite all the distractions of a new place and new smells and sounds. He did indicate on a few spots but unfortunately his useless humans failed to find any truffle. Definitely a hint of scent around but maybe they are just so small that we missed them or really deep?? Anyway, encouraging signs for the owners, time to invest in some irrigation etc... Very proud of our boy! . . #codythetruffledog #truffledore #trufflehunting #truffles #truffiere #truffledog #workingdog #scentdog #stoopidhoomans #findtruffle
