FARM KIDS | MINI FARMERS | Term 2
Fridays | 9am – 3pm | Ages 5–12
Event Description
Join us for an eight-week, hands-on Farm Kids Mini Farmers program designed to nurture curiosity, creativity and a deeper connection to nature.
Across Term 2, children will explore real farm life through science, creative projects, gardening and animal encounters. Each session is grounded in understanding sustainability, caring for the land and learning how natural systems work together — from weather and water cycles to soil health and regenerative farming practices.
Learning is practical, playful and grounded in lived farm experiences. Children will build confidence, teamwork skills and environmental awareness while developing a deeper understanding of how farms, food systems and nature work together.
Families can book individual sessions or enrol for the full term to receive a 33 percent discount.
