FRIDAY 15TH APRIL 2022 

9.30am – 12.30pm | $70 | ages 5 to 15 yrs. 

We start the workshop with an educational, hands on and fun tour of The Farm searching for and collecting seeds. We talk about where seeds come from and how they grow. In craft we make a bird feeder, natural glue and planting seeds in trays to take home.

At the beginning of each workshop we take the children on an educational and fun tour of The Farm. We educate them about our cows, 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 and when available we taste veggies, edible flowers and herbs.
