"I came to a meeting here. Wonderful place, amazing facility and got a free charge for my car!! Thanks!!"
"Great place to reconnect with nature, family, significant other... Sheep, garden, camping spots (w/playground and bathrooms/showers), shoreline views, small store for gifts and essentials"
"Farmyard Story time! This was great. My toddler and infant had fun. There were other families there, who seem to return weekly. They have trails to walk and explore and see the animals. If you pack a lunch, you could spend a good two or three hours doing things. The complex does have a “cafe”, but it was open. There are rocks and to traverse, and space for little ones imagination. But if you just want to do this event, it is a solid hour, with one or two stories and a short animal visit."
"Such an incredible experience and entirely free to visit. It is a very large property, probably a couple hundred acres, and with it comes a learning experience for children that is quite rare. It is a working farm and well organized. There's a small barn with newly born animals children can pet. It is self guided we did not see any staff so you definitely have to be careful of little fingers getting nipped. There are long walking paths one of them going down to the shore, and before you arrive there is a small playground area. The shoreline was nice I think in the summer camping occurs there so it might be a little more difficult to walk through but we came on a great day in March and let them play to their heart's content. This is a good property also just to go on a long walk if you have strollers or just want to do that by yourself."
"Fabulous working farm for kids and parents. We came all the way from England. As well as doing a road trip in our rented RV we stopped here the longest a week, and had a wonderful time. Some classes, blueberry picking, milking tour. Grass fed from the farm burgers from a lovely cafe on site. We have lots more events booked including canoeing ice cream making. The ocean views are stunning and toilet shower blocks are super handy. The staff are very friendly, and passionate in their jobs. Gorgeous part of the world . Nothing comes close for weather and location combined. We were camped literally 2 minutes from the ocean side. You will not be disappointed."
