1. Step into the shoes of a dairy farmer
Experience a guided dairy tour with Farmer Jake. Meet our friendly cows and witness the milking process first-hand while learning about the farm-to-table journey. This tour provides a unique opportunity to connect with nature and appreciate the hard work behind dairy farming. Did you know that the milk from our cows is used in Steri Stumpie milkshakes?
2. Come meet our friendly chickens
Grab some free chicken food at reception to share with our clucking crew. Our chickens love their mobile red coop, which gives them constant access to the outdoors, fresh vegetation, sunshine, and plenty of room to stretch their legs. And don’t miss a visit to our farm shop, where you can pick up freshly laid eggs—perfect for a farm-fresh breakfast!
3. Feed & greet our horses
Pick up some tasty treats at reception and spoil our horses with a little snack! If you’re feeling adventurous, saddle up for a horse riding experience or join our team for a grooming session. On a nice sunny day, you might even get to wash them! Don’t forget to stop by and meet our playful donkeys, Sakkie and Sarie, who can’t wait for a crunchy carrot treat.
4. Explore our farm dam with Fransie
Bring your fishing rods and join Fransie for a day of bass fishing in our farm dam. We provide a cooler with drinks to keep you and Fransie hydrated throughout the day. You can also make use of our four complimentary canoes for some leisurely exploration on the dam. If want to cool down, take a refreshing dip.
5. Join the Oakhurst treasure hunt
