Come join us in the school holidays for a farm experience as we do our morning rounds! On the farm you’ll come across chooks, cows, calves, sheep, a dog, goats, a donkey, and alpacas. Along the way you’ll be spoiled as you take in the panoramic views, be cuddled by the donkey or hand feed the friendly cows. ‌

A typical tour may include collecting chicken eggs, hand feed the alpacas and goats, pat the friendly cows and donkey and sit on the 4-wheeler motorbike. Following the 1.5 hr adventure, we finish off with a morning tea of freshly baked muffins, tea, coffee and unstructured play in the natural bush garden. An enjoyable morning of connecting with animals, mild exercise, lots of learning and fun and messy adventures for the kids!
