Farm Kids School Holiday Chickens Workshop

December 14th @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm | $65 | ages 4 – 12yrs

We start the workshop with an educational and fun tour of The Farm followed by a discussion on chicken welfare and healthy egg production. We make honey piklets (please note due to Covid-19 this will be a demonstration but the kids will still get to taste). We use the eggshells from cooking to create egg people with watercress hair.

What is included?

The children get up close and personal with our pet chickens and when available we taste veggies, edible flowers and herbs.
