Multi-generational Steinhardt family macadamia farm near Bundaberg (suburb Alloway) that opened a large agritourism visitor centre circa 2021-2022. Offers a free self-guided orchard walk where visitors, including kids, gather macadamia nuts from the orchard/ground and crack them themselves at on-site cracking stations to taste -- a genuine hands-on picking/gathering activity, though it is free and self-guided rather than a traditional pay-by-weight u-pick. Paid, prebooked 1-hour guided orchard tours are also offered as a separate product. Onsite Orchard Table cafe, farmgate shop, and chocolate-making viewing window. Dogs not permitted past the car park (macadamias are toxic to dogs); verified assistance dogs allowed. Public toilets on site; wheelchair accessible. Google Maps shows 4.6 stars/1,099 reviews with recent reviews (per discovery) explicitly describing kids collecting nuts from the ground and cracking them open. Not to be confused with 'Alloway Macadamia' (allowaymac.com.au), a separate, smaller producer -- verified this is a distinct business and not already on the existing farm list under another name.

Farm experiences

Beyond picking, Macadamias Australia offers hands-on farm experiences. Each runs on its own schedule and availability can change, so check with the farm before you travel.
