Spring has arrived with the first kids. Posy the four year old poddy Toggenburg doe has produced two bucks. No fuss or alarm - she just took herself off to the highest point in the paddock and by the next morning these two little fellas were part of the establishment. They have been named Peter and Pan by our children even though they realize that they will probably end up as Roast and Chops.
On the edge of the Monaro, Opportunity Farm is our opportunity to live, raise our children and share a more sustainable life. With our retro-fitted 1941 farmhouse, solar power, tank water, livestock for meat, eggs, milk and fibre and fresh garden vegetables and fruit, our ultimate aim as teachers, is to invite others, particularly children, to breathe fresh air, engage with farm animals and learn hands-on where their food and fibre comes from.
