Open Farm Days
Once a month, we open our gates to welcome visitors and staying guests to experience the simpler rhythms of Pepperina. You are invited to step into our world of heritage, slow down, and share a morning connected to the land.
Children can wander the gardens, meet our animals, and find a sense of calm in the natural spaces of the farm. Visitors are welcome to pack a blanket, bring along a picnic, and settle under the old peppercorn trees. Our café is also open for the day, serving simple, country food and coffee by the creek.
Because we are a living, working farm, our morning flows naturally depending on the seasons and the needs of our animals. We also open our gates during the week for dedicated school visits, offering gentle, therapeutic outdoor experiences. Children can safely connect with animals, learn the heritage of the land, and discover the calming textures of the Australian countryside.

*As Pepperina is a working farm with large animals and outdoor terrain, we ask that you explore mindfully. All activities and animal interactions are undertaken at your own care and responsibility. To keep the little visitors safe, children must be always supervised by an adult, and we kindly ask that everyone wears sturdy, enclosed footwear. *
