It is also the oldest children's farm in Australia, established in 1979. To celebrate the Winter Solstice and as a fundraiser, the farm also holds an annual bonfire event. The farm has a range of animals including cows, goats, sheep, horses, ducks, pigs, chickens, geese, peacocks and guinea pigs. Nearly all of the animals at the farm are classified as rare breeds. The farm began in 1979, when a community committee leased a small plot of Crown land next to the Yarra River, used by the farm and community gardeners. Funding has come from various sources over the years and now entrance fees and donations make up the bulk of the farm's income. The farm relies on community effort with staff, volunteers and a young farmers' program working to maintain the farm. The Yarra River Trail passes through the farm. (en) |
