Pack up the family and head out for a weekend of farm-fresh fun, furry friends, and creative adventures! This itinerary is designed for families, offering a playful mix of outdoor activities, animal encounters, and hands-on making.

Saturday 6 December: From Harvest to Hands On

Your fun starts early on Saturday morning with an opportunity for little hands to get busy.

The day begins with connecting to the land as you help pick fresh produce straight from the garden beds. Parents, be sure to grab an iced coffee from The Committed Coffee Co. on-site to fuel up for the busy day ahead!
Next, make your way to meet some gentle, curious creatures. Enjoy morning tea on the grass while you get acquainted with the alpacas – a charming experience for the whole family.
Throughout the middle of the day, you can let the kids run free at The Dirty Gardener. Children can happily dig, play, and cuddle friendly animals at the sandpit play area and petting zoo.
After lunch, pop back into Gumnut Valley Alpacas for an engaging workshop. Kids can roll, squeeze, and shape their own colorful felt ball diffusers using soft local wool to create a sweet-smelling keepsake.

Sunday 7 December: Makers, Mindfulness and Sunflowers

The creative adventures continue on Sunday with a focus on crafts and nature.

Budding makers will love joining this class to craft their own sweet-scented soap and bath salt keepsakes to take home.
Continue north to enjoy a quiet, meditative walk – a peaceful lull in the middle of the day’s laughter, learning, and connection.
Head back to Gumnut Valley Alpacas for a perfect stop for young animal lovers. You can enjoy a sausage sizzle for lunch and take part in a variety of activities:
- Meet and feed the alpacas and goats.
- Enjoy an alpaca felt craft activity for the children.
- Watch chickens hatching in an incubator.
- Meet the donkey and other friendly farm animals.
Round out the day with sunset and bursts of colour among the golden blooms. Enjoy tractor hayrides, petting zoo cuddles, and even family portraits in the stunning sunflower fields. Don’t forget to pick up your free sunflower while you’re there!
