Little Farmers is a child-led, hands on approach to farm education. Where we use nature, art, craft & farming to teach our children fundamental life skills that will help you raise them intentionally, with a respect for the world around them and a head start to living sustainably :)
Topics we base our sessions on :
Growing and harvesting food
Saving seeds
Bee keeping
Bugs, insects, bee and mini beasts
Backyard chickens & ducks
Caring for nature, land and environment
Tending to wildlife
Circle of life and life cycles of animals
Composting
Building worm farms & worm education
Soil & garden health
Propogation
Weather & seasonal cycles
Community & friendship building
Farm to plate process
& so much more !!

We have programs for all ages between 2 & 10. We have split the ages for each session - for example the 10am sessions are for ages 2-4year olds and the afternoon sessions are for slightly older.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays 10am & 1pm :)

Absolutely you can! Siblings under the age of 2 can tag along for free! They are welcome to spend the session in the cubby, sand pit and mud kitchen and just be there for the vibes. (From December 1st 2026 - all siblings above the ago of 2 will require their own paid ticket. Details to come)

Being an outdoor program, sometimes we are met with some questionable weather! Whether thats super hot days in the summer or the wettest of wet weather in the winter. 9 times out of 10 I run the sessions regardless. Having the greenhouse classroom that we have makes winter bearable and we have so many under the trees areas on the farm for summer when we need to escape the heat (Oh and swanky new 25sqms of umbrellas!)
Every now and again though I will call it due to safety or damage to the farm. If I cancel a session where I deem fit - your makeup session will be popped at the end of your term in the holidays. No refunds will be given if the makeup class cannot be attended.
-
Terms are released about 4 weeks to commencement date.
If you booked a spot and then cant attend the term - you will need to let me know before 5 days before the term starts to get a full refund. If you let me know within 5 days of the term starting you will get a 50% refund of your term purchase (unless I can replace you, but good news! Every term for 3 years has had a huge waitlist)
There are no refunds after term has started. Unless spoken to with Shel. More often than not I can replace you, but I try not to add new families to an exisiting term after the 1st week or so, this is about community, continuity, connections and confidence for the children. A lot happens in the first week that starts these formations.
All enquiries about your term bookings need to go through littlefarmers@mail.com
(All refunds are unincluding the booking fee that my website costs me)
-
Morning or afternoon tea for you and your child - depending on your time slot.
Please bring your own water bottle too as the water here in the paddocks is not safe to drink.
Bring a change of clothing for your child, this is a just in case! We are working outdoors on a farm, I get these farm kids to be out in it. Weve ran under the hose together and had water fights when its hot, weve made compost and mud balls for seeds and sometimes we use paint and hold baby animals….. you may want backup!
Please wear CLEAN closed in shoes at all times too please.
-
All sessions are fully parent/guardian supervision. We are not offering drop off programs at this time!
Mums, dads and grandparents are always welcome to tag along for the session also. We love watching families enjoy the experience together :)
