SUMMARY:March Break Farm Tours
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a tour of the farm! One of our farmers will walk you through the barns to see the cows and explain how we care for our herd. You’ll have a chance to get up close and personal with our baby calves\, and we’ll bring you into the parlour to see the milking in action. Throughout the tour try and spot our mascot\, the real-life ‘Valentina the Heart Cow’! \nThis is a walking tour lasting about 75 minutes. \nPlease dress for the weather (cold\, wet\, etc.) as most of the tour is outside. You will be provided boot/shoe covers that must be worn throughout the tour. \nThe tour is suitable for strollers\, walkers and wheelchairs\, but please be aware there are uneven surfaces. While we love our pets\, the cows sometimes get nervous around them – so unfortunately dogs are not allowed.

SUMMARY:March Break Farm Tours
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a tour of the farm! One of our farmers will walk you through the barns to see the cows and explain how we care for our herd. You’ll have a chance to get up close and personal with our baby calves\, and we’ll bring you into the parlour to see the milking in action. Throughout the tour try and spot our mascot\, the real-life ‘Valentina the Heart Cow’! \nThis is a walking tour lasting about 75 minutes. \nPlease dress for the weather (cold\, wet\, etc.) as most of the tour is outside. You will be provided boot/shoe covers that must be worn throughout the tour. \nThe tour is suitable for strollers\, walkers and wheelchairs\, but please be aware there are uneven surfaces. While we love our pets\, the cows sometimes get nervous around them – so unfortunately dogs are not allowed.
