We are very excited to now be offering supported farm animal programs at The Davis Farm.  

 

Sessions are 2 hours run once a week.

Thursday's from 9:30am - 11:30am

New days and times will be offered in the future.

 

Clients will:

- interact with a variety of farm animals

- learn new skills

- meet new friends

- Learn about running a farm and how breeding programs and food production works. 

- Learn to care, feed and groom farm animals. 

 

Attendees will require a level of mobility. 

As a working farm there are uneven surfaces, and although we are working towards more accessibility, you will still need to be able to move around the farm. If you are unsure, you are more than welcome to visit and check before signing up to the program. 

 

Program sign ups will be for a term (8 week program) Once booking in you will be required to pay for the 8 week block even if you don't attend some of the days.
