Kids Farm Tour
We headed on a little adventure to Toms Creek to visit GROW. What is GROW you ask? Why it’s a farm! 🌻
Join us on our GROW Kids Farm Tour. 🌿
This was to be our first visit to the farm and I have to admit I was just as excited as the kids! As they say, you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl. 😉

The drive out to the farm was amazing in itself. We headed out of Port Macquarie towards Wauchope and onto Long Flat. 🌿
Just after the township of Long Flat, we turned left down River Street which turned into Toms Creek Road. 👩🌾
We winded our way through amazing countryside towards the GROW Farm. 🌾

Along the way we crossed many cattle grates, saw cows and their calves grazing along the roadside, as well as horses and a few wallabies. 🐄
There was so much to see and we hadn’t even reached the farm yet! 🌾

We were met at the farm gate entrance by our lovely hosts Cardia and Amber. 👩🌾
Joining with other families for the GROW Farm Tour, we all set off in a convoy down the farm track. 🌾
It is important to note that 4WD or All Wheel Drive vehicles are recommended when visiting the GROW Farm. Your lovely hosts will meet you at the gate and drive you into the property if needed.

GROW Sustainable Gardens
Our first stop was the GROW Sustainable Gardens where we were treated to a delicious morning tea. 🌾
Miss 9 declared they were the best scones she has ever tasted! 😋

As we enjoyed our morning tea everyone wandered through the gardens while learning about growing vegetables, fruits and herbs. 🌿
The adults also enjoyed convesations about planting trees, garden design and farming practices. 🌲
The kids then decided it was time to see the animals! 🐾

Animals at GROW Farm
We then got the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of nature’s natural gardeners! 🐐

There were two adorable baby goats the kids got to feed and then hold. 🐐

There were adorable Miniature Horses to feed. 🐴

And more Miniature Horses to feed! 🐴

We then came across the main herd of goats. 🐐

And then more goats appeared and we found ourselves inside the pen with the goats on the outside, cheeky goats! 🐐

We even got to shake hands good-bye with the kelpies! 🐶

Visiting the GROW Farm was a great way to get to know our beautiful region even further. As well as gain some valuable insight into sustainable family living and gardening. 🌱
We’ll be back for another visit soon, we’d love to try the Mini Mountain Goat Tour next … seems Miss 9 has fallen in love with the goats! 🐐
