FARM KIDS | SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM
These school holidays, let your kids swap screens for soil, and discover the wonder of farm life. Each Farm Kids session begins with an interactive tour where children learn about our cows, pigs, chickens, bees, flower crops, herb gardens, orchards, and veggie plots. Along the way, they explore ideas like crop rotation, pollination, composting, and healthy soil. Kids get hands-on with our pet chickens, and when the season allows, they taste fresh herbs, veggies, and edible flowers straight from the garden.
Designed for ages 5 and over, the program blends fun, food, and farming with creative, take-home activities.
