A Taste of Tasmania: Coal River Farm at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2025
Picture this: you’re lying under a sky full of stars, drink in hand, dreaming about your next big life adventure. What’s missing from this perfect moment? The answer is simple—cheese and crackers.
But not just any cheese. We’re talking about the Triple Cream Brie from Coal River Farm—a velvety, indulgent creation handmade over five to six weeks by a passionate team of artisans. This isn’t your everyday brie. It’s a love letter to Tasmanian produce.
Coal River Farm is the brainchild of Tasmanian locals Daniel and Melanie Leesong. What began as a modest vegetable-growing venture (challenged often by the likes of wallabies and paddymelons) has blossomed into a thriving family-run business known for award-winning cheese, decadent chocolate, and heartfelt hospitality.
Here at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2025, a visit to their stall is a must. You’ll be welcomed by the rich aroma of their handcrafted chocolate and treated to tastings of their signature brie—so soft and creamy it practically melts on your tongue.
Daniel shared the journey of how their farm evolved—from soil to cheese board—and how their family of seven has poured heart and soul into every product. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering them for the first time, Coal River Farm offers a taste of Tasmania that lingers long after the show ends.
Missed them this year? Don’t worry—they’ll be back next year, ready to share more of their passion, produce, and unforgettable flavour.
