Green Connect Family Farm Tours - School Holidays! NEW Twilight Tour

Join us for an authentic, sensory farm experience and learn how we work with nature to grow chemical-free produce.

We’ll get hands-on as we explore our 11-acre permaculture farm, including market gardens and food forest, and search for our free-range sheep, goats, pigs and chickens who love a good feed.

Our 60-minute Family Farm tour is designed for kids and their parents/carers.

FOR BOOKINGS: Family Farm Tours for the summer school holidays are now open for bookings via the Green Connect website HERE.

The 60-minute tours are designed for kids and their parents/carers. Tickets are $14 per person and kids aged two and under are free.

Adult tours are also available; these 75-minute tours offer adults without children an in-depth experience, exploring our market gardens and how we run an award-winning social enterprise.

REMAINING Family Farm Tour Dates:

• Monday 18 January, 9am and 10.30am
• Saturday 23 January, 9am and 5pm (Twilight Tour).

Eight years ago, our vision was to turn a steep block of unused land in Warrawong, just south of Wollongong, into a thriving farm. Today the farm produces fruit, vegetables, herbs, eggs, honey and free-range meat using organic principles.

As well as growing fair food, the farm creates jobs for young people and former refugees. Last year, Green Connect grew and distributed 35,250kg of chemical free food and employed 144 former refugees and young people.

We’d love you to come and see what we’ve done with the place!

Before you book, please consider the following:

• The site is a working farm and visitors must participate in a safety briefing before entering.
• The terrain at the farm is particularly steep and slippery in parts. Though we do take it slowly, the tour involves a moderately strenuous walk and is not accessible for prams, wheelchairs or people with moderate mobility issues. See the video below to ensure you will be able to walk the site.
• Plants love rain and so do we! We don't cancel tours in wet weather unless there is a dangerous storm. Rain (and mud!) is all part of the fun.
• Allergen advice: Our farm is home to domestic animals as well as bees, wasps and macadamia trees. Please pack an Epipen if allergic and keep it with you at all times.

All tour participants must:

• Wear enclosed shoes or boots (sorry no thongs or sandals allowed) and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Long pants are recommended.
• Bring a hat and sunscreen or rain gear, depending on the weather forecast.
• Bring a water bottle pre-filled with water.

Tickets:

• A ticket must be purchased for each person who wishes to enter the farm.
• Tickets for children aged two and under are free but must be reserved.
• Each adult may supervise a maximum of four children.
