$70 | ages 5 to 15 yrs
September 23 | 1.00pm – 4.00pm
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.
Discussions
We talk about how healthy chickens have healthy eggs.
Activities
Make mini veggie pancakes with fresh farm eggs and produce we collect from our garden.
We upcycle the egg shells from our cooking to make egg heads with watercress hair.
