About THE LITCHI ORCHARD
Not only is The Litchi Orchard a functioning litchi farm, but it is a green haven of good food, décor and design. Over the years, it has become a meeting point for the North Coast community as well as a unique experience for visitors.
At The Litchi Orchard we celebrate good food – the way in which it is produced and the people who produce it. The Litchi Orchard community has grown into a collective of passionate food, home & lifestyle small business owners. This is a community of local talent and creativity.
Our monthly Farmer’s Market has been running since 2009 and is a great morning out for the whole family with quality food and craft traders. The ever-popular Night Market, held on the last Friday of every month, is a lively evening of music, good food and drink shared with old and new friends alike. We also host some unique and exciting events throughout the year and The Litchi Orchard is now becoming known as the boutique event destination on the North Coast. Our focus has moved onto hosting smaller, quality niche events.
