A day to be remembered by little ones and big ones alike.

The children can have a go at:
- milking the goat,
- watch the cow getting milked,
- pamper and brush the goats and the pony,
- learn to make cheese,
- do some bee-keeping and honey extracting (without the bees!)
- learn to divide a plant and pot it to take home!
Plus have morning tea and meet Merrylegs, the rocking horse, and get to ride her!

- oh, and check for eggs as well!!!
All of is on our hobby farm, in Chidlow, and some of the activities are from within our strawbale home.
You get to visit our blooming gardens too!

In this workshop, we teach the basics of goat keeping.

They are indeed different from sheep, in their needs and ways to relate with us.

We show you the milking, feeding, foot trimming, talk about shelters, and other needs.

We provide a morning tea and a fact sheet to wrap up what we share.
