The candidate business rebranded from 'Pialligo Truffles' / 'Pialligo Truffle Farm' to 'Beltana Farm' in 2024 under owners Alice and Doug O'Mara (with hospitality partners James Souter and John Leverink); the old domain pialligotruffles.com.au now 301-redirects to beltanafarm.au and the old Facebook page (facebook.com/pialligotruffles) appears inactive, superseded by facebook.com/beltanafarm. Confirmed genuinely hands-on: guests join a guided truffle hunt with trained dogs and personally unearth truffles ('pull a truffle out of the ground yourself' per the Humanitix listing; 'help dig up the truffles' per the Region.com.au piece), then eat a truffle-focused shared lunch. This is a ticketed, guided, seasonal experience rather than an open-access self-pick, and the crop is a fungus rather than a fruit/vegetable/flower, so it sits outside a strict PYO definition -- flag for the team's call on whether it fits the site's inclusion criteria (as the original discovery note also flagged). Address is 14 Beltana Road per the farm's own site (one press source says '14a'); this is a distinct business/address from Pialligo Apples, Pialligo Harvest and Tanbella Orchard, which are separate operations on the same road -- not a duplicate. Children are explicitly welcomed with a modified kids' menu; no source found confirming visitor dogs-allowed or toilet facilities, so left null.
