🧒 Children: For those coming with young children, we recommend a backpack for carrying them. Mountain buggies may be used but can be tricky in some parts of the farm that are steep and have uneven surfaces, so backpacks are recommended where possible if children are not able to walk the whole trail. Please remember to keep a close eye on them, especially around the animals, electric fences, and water.
