A fourth-generation family-owned business, 9Dorf Farms grows native Australian fish, as well as pasture-raised chickens and eggs. Fish, chicken and eggs are available to take home with you (although if you're after something in particular, it's best to call ahead). Book a farm tour in advance and watch the incredibly lively spectacle of fish being fed (expect to get splashed), and visit the lovingly-raised chickens pecking about in sweet retro caravans among the paddocks.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ci\u003EFeatured image: @mycolourfulworld_\u003C/i\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n","readMoreHeight":0,"headlinesColor":"orange","richText":true,":type":"teq/components/editorial/editorial-description"},"editorial_descriptio_743949960":{"text":"\u003Ch2\u003EFrequently asked questions about the Lockyer Valley\u003C/h2\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003EWhat is the Lockyer Valley known for?\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Lockyer Valley is known for its rich agricultural land, farm gate produce, country towns and foodie experiences.
