ANIMALS
The Farm is home to cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys and working dogs, each playing a different role within the life of the farm.
Our animals help us care for the land, build healthier soils and support a more connected farm-to-table model. They’re given space to express their natural behaviours and are treated with care and respect by our farmers.
You’re welcome to observe them as you explore, or join our Into the Paddock experience to meet and hand-feed some of our animals while learning about the role each plays in our regenerative farming system. Outside of supervised experiences, please don’t enter the paddocks or touch or feed the animals.
NIGERIAN DWARF GOATS
Our Nigerian Dwarf goats may be little, but they make up for it with enormous personalities. Curious, playful and always up to something, you'll often find them climbing, browsing and squeezing their noses into anything that catches their attention.
These friendly goats spend their days exploring the paddock, nibbling leaves, herbs and grasses, and keeping visitors smiling with their cheeky antics. If you'd like to meet them properly, join us for our Into the Paddock experience, where you'll quickly discover why they're a favourite among guests of all ages.
TURKEYS
If you hear a gobble before you see a turkey, that's probably Garry.
Our resident tom turkey has proudly fathered what can only be described as an army of turkeys at The Farm. Equal parts protector, show-off and local celebrity, Garry spends his days strutting the paddocks while keeping a watchful eye on his ever-growing family.
WORKING DOGS
Our working dogs Mac & Bo are never far from the action. Clever, loyal and always watching, they work alongside our farmers to help move livestock calmly and safely across the farm.
They may look like they’re simply hitching a ride on the quad bike, but they’re waiting for their next job—and they usually know what needs doing before the rest of us do.
BEEF CATTLE
The Farm’s herd of beef cattle are 100% grass fed and finished. Raised using holistic grazing, this methodology essentially aims to echo the natural herding behaviour of animals, promoting healthy and sustainable cattle, allowing them to regularly graze on fresh pasture, which in turn enriches the soil, sequesters carbon, increases soil fertility and regenerates surrounding plant species.
MUSCOVY DUCKS
Our Muscovy ducks are equal parts charm and hard work. While they're often busy foraging for insects and helping keep our gardens and food forest in balance, they're just as happy waddling into an Into the Paddock session in search of a handful of feed.
If you're visiting in spring, keep your eyes peeled - you might be lucky enough to spot a fluffy trail of ducklings following closely behind Mum. It's one of our favourite sights on the farm.
SHEEP
Life is better together—that's the sheep philosophy.
Our flock spends its days grazing fresh pasture, sticking close together and quietly doing what sheep do best. With lambs arriving throughout the year, there's always a chance you'll meet one of our newest (and fluffiest) farm residents.
chickens
Oliver’s Hens are relocated every two weeks to keep them happy and healthy. This regenerative practice allows the grass to regrow and the soil to regenerate.
Nourished with a diet of charcoal-infused, organic meal, and allowed to roam free on lush, fresh pastures, these hens produce the most nutrient-dense eggs in the Shire. Available from our Produce Store & used by Three Blue Ducks.
LARRY THE INDIAN RUNNER DUCK
Larry is our shy and gentle Indian Runner duck, usually found quietly keeping close to his rather unexpected group of friends.
Some days he's playing tag with the florist's dog. Other days he wanders into our Into the Paddock experience in search of a snack. Around here, Larry tends to appear exactly where you least expect him.
WORKING GOATS
Around here, we call them our four-legged lawn crew.
These hardworking goats rotate through the farm browsing weeds, shrubs and overgrown vegetation, helping us care for the landscape the way goats know best. They're always on the move, so spotting them is a little like a treasure hunt—some days they're front and centre, other days they're off on another important assignment.
