Before you visit, please be aware:

• The site is a working farm. Visitors must participate in a safety briefing before entering the site and take responsibility for the safety of themselves and accompanying children.
• Many areas of the farm are not accessible for people with mobility difficulties, people in wheelchairs or prams and infants will need to be carried. Please contact us if you have mobility challenges and we can make a plan for accessing flat parts of the site. 
• Closed-toed shoes or boots are required to enter the farm (no thongs or sandals please). Long pants are highly recommended.
• We'll encourage you to get hands on, so please wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty!
• This is an all weather event so please come prepared! We recommend gumboots and rain jackets in the rain and sunhats and sunscreen in sun. 
• Allergen advice: Our farm is home to domestic animals as well as bees, wasps and macadamia trees. Please pack an Epipen if someone in your group has anaphylaxis and keep it with you at all times.
• This is a zero waste event so please bring a reusable cup or mug!

We look forward to seeing you there!
