The little agrarian has been created to instill in our future generations an appreciation of where their food comes from and how it gets from the paddock to their plates.

It is an opportunity for children to see, smell, touch and taste their way around the farm, gardens and kitchen, to fully appreciate the flavour of real food - food grown without chemicals and allowed to mature and ripen within its natural timeframe. WARNING: your children may return with an appetite for vegetables.

The day will include a tour of the vegetable gardens and orchards, tasting different heirloom vegetables and fruit while harvesting produce from the garden. Children will collect chicken eggs and feed our rare-breed Wessex saddleback piglets as well as milk our British alpine goats. They will then return to the kitchen to cook themselves lunch from the gathered produce and a sweet treat.

Cost:  $150 per child (aged 6 to 11 years old)

Duration:  10.00am to 2.00pm

Inclusions: Each child receives an agrarian kitchen apron, recipes and lunch

Maximum No. of children per class:  8

What to bring: gumboots, raincoat and sun hat and sunscreen.

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS AND ALLERGIES

FOR THE PARENTS

While your little agrarians are busy on the farm we recommend passing the time in nearby New Norfolk which offers an array of amazing antique shops, have a quick bite to eat at New Norfolk’s Cheeky Little Place café or bring your own picnic and head out to the Salmon Ponds.

HOW OFTEN WILL THE LITTLE AGRARIAN EXPERIENCE BE HELD?

We aim to hold the little agrarian classes on certain weekdays during the Tasmanian school holidays or if you have a private group of 8 we can add a class subject to availability.
