Mini Farmers – Get Your Goat!
These school holidays take the kids to The Farm in Byron Bay for their Farm Kids sessions where they take the children on an educational and fun tour of The Farm. They educate them about the cows, pigs, bees, chickens, flower crops, herb garden, orchard and veggie crops. They discuss concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, pollination, organic farming, healthy soil and composting and other ethical farming practices. The children get up close and personal with their pet chickens and when available taste veggies, edible flowers and herbs.
In the Get Your Goat session the kids will get to meet the farm’s cheekiest characters and discover why goats are such clever, useful animals! Kids will learn about a goat’s diet and the difference between foraging and grazing, explore how goats help with weed control, and find out why they’re kept for milk, meat, and more. They’ll research different breeds, uncover fascinating goat facts, and see just how much personality these four-legged friends have. Activities include creating adorable goat puppets for a fun puppet show, cooking tasty mini fritters with goat’s cheese and fresh garden produce, and crafting a goat-themed bookmark to take home. A day full of animal antics, hands-on creativity, and delicious farm flavours!
Ideal for children aged 5 and over.
