At The Farm Byron Bay we encourage kids to enjoy and learn from the surroundings of a real working farm. Farm Kids inspires and educates children through our programs about where food comes from and introduces them to concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, the importance of pollination, organic farming, crops, healthy soil, composting and other ethical farming practices. Children can meet our animals and watch them in their natural surroundings and be amongst our chickens whilst enjoying some of the best things in life, sunshine and fresh air. December January School Holiday Program At the beginning of each workshop we take the children on an educational and fun tour of The Farm. We educate them about our pigs, bees, chickens, flower crops, herb garden, orchard and veggie crops. The children get up close and personal with our pet chickens, pick and taste veggies, edible flowers and herbs. After the tour we head back to the farmhouse where each day has a different point of discussion, cooking, gardening and craft focus.
