Farm Activities
Every morning participants are invited along on our morning feeding rounds. You will get the chance to meet all the different animals and help feed and care for them.
Saturday afternoon/evening there will be the opportunity to select an activity to engage in. Some examples include:
- Making up animal feeds and feeding the sheep and goats.
- Cuddling the donkeys and feeding them
- Moving and meeting the beef and dairy cows.
- Collecting, washing and packaging the farm fresh eggs
Accommodation
We have 3 different units, all with their own bathroom and kitchenette facilities. Cooking is to be done in the well equipped communal camp kitchen. The East Wing unit has an open plan living and bedroom area with a double bed and a single stretcher bed.
The Guest Wing has 2 bedrooms – one with double bed and the other with double bed and single stretcher bed. There is an option here of a 3rd bedroom should two participants be supported by the one support worker.
The Farmstead Unit is an open plan living and bedroom area with a double bed and a fold out double bed sofa.
If you are a keen camper we also have the option where you can pitch a tent and use our toilet and shower block and well equipped camp kitchen. Lots of fun in the outdoors!
Food
Breakfast and Dinner will be included for each day of the STA program. You will enjoy a variety of farm raised produce made into delicious meals. There will be opportunities for the participants to learn valuable skills through preparing and cooking their meals with us.
The two breakfasts will be cooked by the participants using ingredients which we will supply (many of which will be from our own farm). Dinner will be cooked collaboratively with us and enjoyed outside while marvelling at our spectacular sunset.
This will be a wonderful time to enjoy nutritious food and socialise with others. Any food allergies or dietary needs will need to be communicated when booking with us.
Day Trip Activities
On Saturday following the farm chores and a delicious breakfast there will also be opportunities for you and your support worker to explore the local area.
Some examples include:
- Fishing or Swimming at picturesque Evans Head and enjoying Fish and Chips for lunch in the sunshine and fresh sea air. There are also some cafes and other take away options.
- Swimming at the newly renovated pool in Casino and visting the heritage mini rail.
- Enjoy watching an entertaining movie at Kyogle
- Visits to local water falls for a picnic and nature walks.
