Farm Kids School Holiday Cows Workshop

WEDNESDAY 22ND DECEMBER 2021

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.
