Nestled in the lush greenery of Hillcrest, Fig Tree Farm (FTF) offers a serene escape from the bustle of everyday life. Established in 1896, this 126-hectare privately owned landscape has a rich history, but it wasn’t until 2020 that the gates opened to the public. Initially created as a safe, open-air space during the COVID pandemic, Fig Tree Farm has blossomed into a community hub for locals and tourists alike, offering a range of activities, events, and services designed to entertain and delight all ages.
As proud members of the 1000 Hills Tourism community, Fig Tree Farm is committed to showcasing the best that Hillcrest and its surroundings have to offer. We are part of a broader initiative aimed at promoting the natural beauty and cultural richness of the 1000 Hills region, making us a must-visit destination for tourists exploring the area.
