FRIDAY 1 JULY 2022 

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

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. 

Discussion 

• Ethical pig farming and animal welfare. 

• We visit the pigs, big and small, and talk about many fun pig facts that are both interesting and funny!  

• We look at the pig paddock and discuss paddock rotation and why we need to rest the paddocks.
