Children just love to feed and care for animals. Holding a warm freshly laid egg or bottle feeding a tiny lamb can instil wonder and lifelong memories. Rod (a certified child care worker) and Geraldine gently allow a child to explore the interconnection between the natural world and him/herself. Daily life on a farm is sensory, tactile, and therefore experiential.

Closing one's eyes and smelling freshly cut hay or running ones fingers through the fleece of a ewe is for many a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Join your children in picking ripe and juicy raspberries off the vine or digging up plump, yellow potatoes. Learn how a spider weaves its web on a farm fence, or just sit and observe a mud swallow painstakingly building its nest in the barn.

These are just a few unique experiences that we are thrilled to share with you and your children. We guide and supervise all activities to ensure a positive learning farm experience.
