We started the morning with an amazing yoga session with alpacas! How relaxing to hear the birds chirp and feel the sun on your eyelids while doing your stretches. Thank you Donna Swart for leading us through the moves and for everyone who attended our yoga class. We appreciate your support!

ALERT LEVEL 3 STEP 2 UPDATE

From Thursday 4 November, our farm and shop will be open 10am - 4.30pm weekdays and 5pm weekends  (last entry at 4pm). Tino pai!

Your safety is our top priority. To ensure that visitors can keep a safe distance from other household bubbles, numbers will be limited when required. And no bubbles larger than 25 people.

When visiting, keep the 2 metre distancing in mind - if it's looking crowded then head to another farm area and come back a little later. It's mandatory to wear a face covering when you cannot maintain 2 metres physical distance from others.

Please understand that we might have to ask you to wait a while to prevent overcrowding. Why not grab a bite while you wait! Our cafe will be open for takeaways which you can enjoy in the outdoor picnic areas around the cafe.
