FARM KIDS | JULY SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM
Kids love our full day Mini Farmers Program, as they get to fully immerse themselves in
becoming mini farmers for a day and set about doing the all-important farm chores. Chores
include collecting eggs, checking the fences, clearing paddocks and more, dependant on the
season. They cook, create and learn where their food comes from, as well as experience
countless opportunities to learn about teamwork, community, and ethical farming practices.
At the beginning of our half day Workshops we take the children on an educational and fun
tour of The Farm. We get up close and personal with pigs, bees, chickens, flower crops and
wander through the herb gardens, orchard and vegie crops. We taste, touch, smell and discuss
concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, pollination, organic farming, healthy soils and
composting and other ethical farming practices. The children experience cracking and eating
fresh nuts, picking seeds, herbs, veggies and flowers and collecting eggs from the beautiful,
friendly chickens. After the tour we head back to the farmhouse where each day has a different
point of discussion, from cooking and creating to gardening and art and craft.
