The Farm Animal Experience

Get up close and personal with the Strawfields family! While everyone is welcome to join Alex for morning rounds on Tuesdays and Saturdays, our Farm Animal Experience is perfect for those wanting a more dedicated, hands-on encounter.

  • Meet & Greet: Spend quality time with our friendly alpacas, ponies, goats, and sheep.

  • Hands-On Fun: Learn about their quirks, help with feeding, and enjoy a private tour of the paddocks.

  • Perfect for Families: A wonderful way for children (and adults!) to learn about animal care in a relaxed, rural setting.

How to Book

Our farm experiences and wellness treatments are popular and often have limited availability. We recommend booking in advance to ensure you don’t miss out during your stay.

Supporting a Cause: Don’t forget that by enjoying the farm, you are supporting The Straw Patch Project, our on-site non-profit dedicated to community mental health and nature-based healing.

Private Animal Experiences

Only Available For Our Guests Staying At Strawfields

A Fun Hands-On Family Farm Experience

Please note that this experience is only available for guests staying in one of the cottages, cabins or camping at Strawfields.

Start your adventure at Strawfields by meeting our friendly alpacas, miniature ponies, and a variety of other farm animals. Discover their unique personalities as you feed them their favourite treats and learn about their funny mischievous ways and cheeky characters. Spend some hands-on time with the alpacas, ponies, goats and Inca, our friendly farm dog!  It’s a personal experience which will be tailed to the activities you would like to do, and by the age of the children.  It is a truly fun and memorable experience for the whole family!  Please note that the Family Farm Experience does not involve walking the alpacas in the big field, but you will have plenty of time for photos and Rhubarb kisses!
