A large deck and onto lush green lawns at the front and rear of this enterprise. They have discontinued pursuing the restaurant - this due to the age of one of the owners and wishes to slow up. This has not realised its full potential and the incumbents will take full benefit to this enterprise that certainly did not reach its full potential. They had all day breakfast and did not pursue an evening sitting. The end of a part of the deck has coffee machine cake display and fridges for this operation.
As I said internal commercial kitchen with preparation areas.

SAMARIA ROSEWATER
Rosewater from Samaria Farm is steamed distilled from the buds produced by the plantation of 2,000 organically grown Damask Rose plant. Samaria Farm is the only commercial sized rosewater produced facility in Australia.
A single pass distillation process is used to produce our hydrosol, referred to as rosewater. In other parts of the world the hydrosol is re-distilled many times to produce the maximum volumes of Rose Oil resulting in a by-product of rosewater. Our aim is to produce the highest quality rosewater with only one distillation. Imported rosewater has between 400 and 800 parts per million of rose volatiles. Testing of our rosewater at the Southern Cross University in Lismore NSW shows rose volatiles in our rosewater to be between 1,200 and 2,600 parts per million.
In the rose season of 2020 we produced 800 litres of rosewater and only harvested from less than half the plants and could have easily produced over 2,000 litres. The picking was done with 2 pickers working for an average of 4 hours each per day. This is done for 30 days straight, usually from the last week in October. The distilling takes about 6 hours and some days 2 distillations are done. Each distillation produces up to 20 litres of rosewater.
We sell the rosewater from $40 per litre, for wholesale orders over 10 litres, to $460 per litre for retail sales of 50 ml bottles.
ESSENTIAL OILS and HYDROSOLS
The distillation of the roses also produces rose oil. This produced 180ml of rose oil selling for $60 per ml wholesale and $100 per ml retail in 2020.
Other essential oils produced from plants on the farm are: Lemon, Lemon Myrtle, Lime, Saville Orange, Grapefruit, Cyprus, Lemon Scented Eucalyptus and Blue Gum Eucalyptus.
These also produce hydrosols that are sold for various uses.
DISTILLATION WORKSHOPS
Distillation workshops are conducted throughout the year using seasonal produce. Up to 6 persons per workshop at a fee of $250 per person.
