Farm Kids
Here at The Farm we encourage kids to enjoy and learn from the surroundings of a real working farm.
Farm Kids inspires and educates children through our programs about where food comes from and introduces them to concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, the importance of pollination, organic farming, crops, healthy soil, composting and other ethical farming practices. Children can meet up close our cheeky Nigerian dwalf goats and watch them in their natural surroundings and be amongst our chickens whilst enjoying some of the best things in life, sunshine and fresh air.

Mini Farmers Program
School Holiday Programs and School Term Programs available
The kids become mini farmers and get set to work doing farm chores. Collecting eggs, checking fences, feeding animals, checking paddocks and more. They work in the Farm Kids garden, planting, weeding and harvesting. They cook, create and see where their food comes from as well as experience countless opportunities to learn about teamwork, community, natural remedies, sustainability and ethical farming practices. The program during school term covers many curriculum concepts as we cater to many children who are home schooled.
School Holiday Activities
At the beginning of each workshop, we take the children on an educational and fun tour of The Farm. We educate them about our pigs, bees, chickens, flower crops, herb garden, orchard and veggie crops. We discuss concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, pollination, organic farming, healthy soil and composting and other ethical farming practices. The children get up close and personal with our pet chickens, pick and taste veggies, edible flowers and herbs. After the tour, we head back to the barn where each day has a different point of discussion, cooking, gardening and craft focus.
