Harvest Corner is housed in a delightful heritage building centrally located in the Main Street of Minlaton. Together with our beautiful hand made craft this creates an ambience of “olde worlde” charm that is often lost in today’s busy modern life. Step back in time and experience the beauty and grace of yesterday – see the magnificent handiwork created by local crafts people. Our aim is to generate an economic contribution to the community and encourage others to use their skills by providing an outlet for their endeavours.
We stock a comprehensive range of quality craft and produce including embroidery, pottery, patchwork, toys, cards, timberwork, locally grown plants, jams, sauces, olive oil, biscuits, and chocolates to name but a few! Harvest Corner’s suppliers are happy to make goods to order, creating the ideal match for your décor. Gift Vouchers are available for purchase.
One of our suppliers, Reptile Art produces very impressive plaster casts of reptiles, which are sold in various parts of Australia and also overseas. These reptiles are very popular, particularly with overseas visitors.
In our Art Gallery we have prints on canvas by renowned local artists Mark Short and Marie Parsons and the award winning Allyson Parsons. Allyson was only 18 when she won her first major prize in 1984. She was born profoundly deaf, and her persistence and courage have led to her becoming one of the most sought after artists in the country. We also showcase paintings by other local artists based on the Yorke Peninsula.
Alpaca wool and jumpers knitted from produce grown on Mark Short’s property, “Alpacas Chaparral” located just minutes from Minlaton, are available in the Gallery at Harvest Corner. Hand knitting has experienced a revival in recent years, and alpaca wool is very popular. This wool is the best insulating wool in the world, apart from the fleece of the polar bear! The wool is smooth and soft, creating beautiful garments which can be ordered in your choice of size and colour. Mark also likes to paint, and his favourite subject is his alpacas!
We are happy to wrap goods in protective bubble wrap and box goods to ensure they travel safely. Our high quality craft goods are often bought as birthday gifts and we have on hand a supply of tissue paper and ribbons for wrapping. |
