Hartley Truffles Farm

Join Hartley Truffle founders Jane and Richard Austen, to experience the sensory and physical process of truffle farming during peak season. In this very rare experience, learn about the symbiotic relationship between truffles and their host trees, tour the Hartley farm and see the cultivation processes.

About Hartley Truffles

Richard and Jane Austen founded Hartley Truffles at their family farm in the Blue Mountains in 2007. Their two varieties of oak now produce Tuber melanosporum, known as black perigord or black winter truffle. With the help of their two border collies, they harvest fresh truffle during June, July and August for the domestic and export markets. Hartley Truffles also produce truffled honey and salt flakes.
