Mrs. Macdonald has a small farm shop counter where visitors pay to enter, you can purchase pellets for our farm park animals.
The bags are compostable and our tubs and buckets are recyclable, please return to the shop counter so we can compost or reuse, to help save the planet.
You can collect your own eggs for $10 for a dozen - we supply the carton.
We have our popular FARMDOO manure compost available at the road entrance where you can come up and pay or use our honesty box.

Casual Visits
Wander through in your own time, get up close with a variety of farm animals, including ponies, goats, pigs, chickens, alpacas, and more.
This casual encounter option allows visitors to take their time, follow the children's lead, meet the animals, and note their behaviour, colours, and unique characteristics compared to the other animals at the park.
You can hand-feed the animals by purchasing a bag from the Farm Shop.
​
Guided Tours
Guided tours are available for families, caregivers, grandparents, groups of friends, coffee mums anyone who would like to have a more interactive visit.
Your guide will meet you on arrival and lead you on a tour of the Farm Park. Your guide will introduce the animals names, breeds and interesting facts about the different animals and their personalities. You can ask questions on anything you would like to know about them.
With the guided tour, visitors can interact, gently hold and pat the animals. A great opportunity for both kids and adults to have contact with the animals in a safe managed environment.
Feed Time
Visitors can participate in our scheduled feeding times, where they can help feed the animals under the supervision of staff members.
This hands-on activity allows visitors to learn about the dietary needs of each animal and the importance of a balanced diet for their well-being.
Bring along some veges, fruit, flowers or fresh cut grass for the animals, its neat to see them enjoy food you foraged especially for them.
Pony Rides
Experience a pony ride ! with one of Mrs Macdonalds special horses or ponies. Give them a groom and have a fun ride in the arena.
