Daily demonstrations
Daily, at specified times
9:00 AM – 4:30 PM
In January and February, we are exploring the theme ‘around the world’. Get ready for a fun and educational farm experience with a variety of exciting daily demonstrations for all ages!
Discover fascinating facts about different breeds of cows at our ‘cows from around the world’ demonstration! From their unique roles on farms to the diverse products they provide, you’ll gain a whole new appreciation for these amazing animals.
Give wool carding a try, test your knowledge with fun pig facts, and unleash your creativity by making your very own sea monster craft! Next, say hello to our newest addition—Léonard the alpaca! Learn about the role of alpacas on a farm, their unique behaviours, and the incredible fibre they provide.
And be sure to visit the Demonstration Kitchen, where we are cooking up global delights that will take your taste buds on a world tour! Samples of our featured recipes will be available for tasting (while supplies last).
