We had a blast! 2 and 5 years olds thoroughly enjoyed petting and feed the animals, specially the free range tea cup peg. The shearing show was informative and impressive. Coffee did a great coffee and lunch. We are spreading the word to friends and family and will be back ourselves one day on the near future.
The team is amazing. The show was really insightful and equally entertaining.
Well done
Booked online for our group of 5 including friends visiting from overseas : 11am show and farm entry. Really loved everything about our visit here including interactive farm talk , working dogs demo and sheep shearing show, cafe, hand feeding the farm animals, playground. and definitely have a real fruit Ice-cream, so fresh and yum .

Lovely place
The place itself is quite small and lives off the cuteness of its inhabitants, several sheep, pigs, alpaka, donkeys and similar animals. Please don't mistake this place for a zoo, its more of a educational farm with enclosed shop and shows. The show itself was really entertaining, we were shown two sheepdogs with different approaches to their task, some interactive shepherding games and even a live shearing of one sheep before the kids got to bottle-feed some lambs. Visiting the farm and seeing the show should not take more than about 3 hours, if you can make time for it and are in the area have a look!
