The Farm, Byron Bay

The Farm always have a fantastic schedule with plenty of experieces to choose from - from full day to half day workshops.

Kids love The Farm's full day Mini Farmers Program, as they get to fully immerse themselves in becoming mini farmers for a day and set about doing the all-important farm chores. Chores include collecting eggs, checking the fences, clearing paddocks and more, dependant on the season. They cook, create and learn where their food comes from, as well as experience countless opportunities to learn about teamwork, community, and ethical farming practices.

At the beginning of the half day Workshops, they take the children on an educational and fun tour of The Farm. They get up close and personal with pigs, bees, chickens, flower crops and wander through the herb gardens, orchard and vegie crops. They taste, touch, smell and discuss concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, pollination, organic farming, healthy soils and composting and other ethical farming practices. The children experience cracking and eating fresh nuts, picking seeds, herbs, veggies and flowers and collecting eggs from the beautiful, friendly chickens. After the tour they head back to the farmhouse where each day has a different point of discussion, from cooking and creating to gardening and art and craft.
