School Holiday Program- From Scratch: A Farm Kitchen Experience

A permaculture based gardening and farm education program for children aged 4-17 years

School Holiday Program-

🍞🌸 From Scratch: A Farm Kitchen Experience 🐐✨

Invite your child to step into the joyful rhythm of homestead life — where bread rises slowly, butter is churned by hand, and the farmyard is alive with new life. A wholesome, hands-on workshop celebrating the abundance of the season. 🌿🌼

In this hands-on workshop, children will:

🥖 Mix their own sourdough dough to take home and bake with their family.

🌞 Score and bake a golden sourdough loaf together in our bush kitchen.

🧈 Churn fresh cream into butter and spread it onto warm bread, enjoyed under the summer sunshine.

🍹 Make and share a refreshing glass of farm-made lemonade, flavoured with herbs and edible flowers from the garden.

Children will also have the opportunity to-

🐐 Cuddle and play with our baby goats, full of cheeky leaps and snuggles.

🐇 Hold and stroke our soft, friendly bunnies, learning how to handle them with care.

🦆 Visit the ducks and quails, discovering the different eggs they give us.

🐣 And if we are lucky, peek at freshly hatched chicks or ducklings, and see new life on the farm.

Every child takes home:

• A sourdough dough to bake and share with their family 🧡

• The memory of hand-churning butter, just like on the old homesteads 🌾
