We’ve developed our educational experiences to suit all the different age groups and interests of the people who visit our farm. For the little ones, we’ve got colouring-in activities, and for older guests or school groups, we offer guided educational tours. You can come and visit the bees, chickens, and sheep, take a peek inside our scar tree, and enjoy tasting some of the delicious products we make right here on the farm.
