THE ANIMALS

Hand-feeding a diverse barnyard

Every child receives a small bag of feed to offer to the farm’s animals — from parrots to goats, ducks, peacocks, cows and rabbits — making the visit tactile and memorable for young guests.

THE COLLECTION

A tiny museum of vintage tools

Tucked into the visit is a small museum showcasing old agricultural tools and implements, a quiet counterpoint to the animal interactions and a window into rural working life.

THE PONIES

First pony rides for the little ones

Ponies are available so the youngest visitors can have an introductory ride in a safe, enclosed area; rides are intended for children and are taken with parental accompaniment for reassurance.

What the day feels like

The outing is short and focused: after arrival children are handed feed and move through the pens and enclosures to feed curious parrots, friendly goats and larger stock such as cows, punctuated by a visit to the small museum; the program is deliberately hands-on and designed for families to share the experience together within an approximate 1.5-hour window.
