Animal Experiences

Get up close and personal with the Strawfields family!  While all guests are welcome to join Alex for her morning rounds on Saturdays (also Tuesday & Thursday in School holidays), our Fun Hands-On Farm Animal Experience is perfect for those wanting a more personal, 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 their favourite treats and experience taking Maebelle and Inca over the agility course, on hot sunny days you can experience giving the alpacas a shower to cool off.

• Perfect for Families: A wonderful way for children to have fun and learn about animals in a relaxed small farm setting.

Your adventure will start here 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!
