-
What can I do on your farm?
When you are our guests at King Wise Farmhouse you have use of the Farmhouse and the immediate fenced yard & car shed.
Outside of that area, you are most welcome to explore the designated tracks around our fields (being aware at all times that this is a working farm with large machinery etc). We ask that you stay on the designated tracks & not walk through fields.
It may be possible to have a farm tour where we’ll show you around our farm explaining what work is happening. Please ask.
In the fenced area, there’s a designated fire pit for your use.
There are a few outdoor games available for your use. (volleyball net, boules, badminton)
There are many flat, bitumen roads - perfect for cycling enthusiasts or leisurely walks!
-
Are there any dangers on your farm?
As with any farm, you will need to practice safety awareness. Be aware of what is happening - look and listen out for machinery, or in warmer weather, we tend to have “visitors” - snakes! Keep your eyes open & be on alert!
Sadly, we have feral cats, dogs, and pigs roaming around, particularly at night, so again - be on alert.
Our farm is a working farm; therefore, large machinery will move about at different times - from early in the morning to late at night. This means sometimes it may be a bit noisy or dusty. Sometimes, machinery needs to use the roads - please be patient!
Our farm also has large irrigation dams, ditches and gullies, which may or may not have water. Please keep away, and definitely NO swimming.
