Jauma Farm, organic
orchard and vineyard
Jauma Farm stretches over 40 acres of hillside land on unceded Peramangk Country, Lenswood, Adelaide Hills. Home to James and Sophie Erskine and family, we farm certified organic vines, cherries, pears, apples, veggies and produce natural wine, cider and vinegar.
Organic pick your own cherries, in the Adelaide Hills
Cherry season is around the corner, and this year it comes with something special- the opening of our new cellar door.
Visit us at Jauma Farm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the 2nd / 3rd / 4th January for a festive weekend of cherry picking, wine tasting, and community goodness. You can roam the whole orchard, eat cherries as you go (they're quite irresistible) and carefully hand-pick some fresh, ripe, juicy and delicious organic cherries to take home.
​
​Wander over to our new cellar door for a wine tasting and select some wines to take home. The orchard, winery and cellar door sit side by side, offering a full expression of what we grow and make here.
​
As small growers, we love seeing our cherries and wine enjoyed straight from the farm to you.
​​
Jauma Farm is Certified Organic with OFC.

A polyculture of vines, orchards, veggies and community
Situated on geologist and explorer Sir Douglas Mawson's old sheep farm and shearing shed, our farm has been certified with NASAA Organic since 2009.
​
We moved to Jauma Farm, previously known as Old Coralinga, in 2018. We’ve learned countless lessons as we explore what it means to nurture a cherry orchard, raise young grapevines, grow vegetables, tend to animals and live with the cycles of the seasons.
We’ve planted vineyards, trees and gardens, and built a winery and cellar door.
We are curious, excited farmers and spiritual seekers, expanding our knowledge and experience through biological and regenerative farming.
Jauma farm's practices lie in the core values of Permaculture philosophy, caring for land, community and the more than human world, by cultivating a diverse and thriving ecosystem.
​
Home to Jauma natural wines
All Jauma natural wines are made from organically grown grapes, without addition or subtraction, at our winery on Jauma Farm. We have been producing organic natural wine from our McLaren Vale vineyards since 2010.
​​
After planting vineyards at Jauma Farm in 2020, 2025 was our first harvest of home grown fruit. We look forward to sharing with you Jauma Farm's Chenin, Gewurtztraminer, Savignin, and Cabernet Franc.
