Information Pack:
Arrival and setup:
Your attendee will arrive on location approximately 30 minutes before your starting time. We will then commence setup of our farm at the determined location. This includes unloading our gear and animals. We ask that all peoples please remain a safe distance from the farm setup area during this time.
Please note: Any special requirements to arrive early to an event will need to be discussed prior and will be included in the quote.
Farm size, cover and inclusions:
Our farm is approximately 5m x 5m with a range of 25-30 animals. We provide a gazebo for cover but highly recommend a shaded area where possible – Wind/weather may result in the gazebo being unable to be used.
We provide hand sanitizer for our farm, please also supply soap and water for your guests or alternatively have us setup with bathrooms nearby so we can direct customers to wash their hands.
Our animals do vary with availability, we do aim to have a variety for each event. Our animals generally include goats, lambs, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, rabbits and piglets. Please feel free to message us the day before your event for an animal list.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee any animal, but if there is something you are particular in wanting, let us know before booking.
While the majority of the animals are allowed to be picked up we do have a few rules we have set in place to ensure the wellbeing of our animals.
-All children the age of 10 or under will require a parent or guardian to assist with the holding of the animal. Children under 5 years old will need to be accompanied by an adult at all times inside the farm.
-Dogs and other pets must be secured away from the farm at all times. Dogs are not to interact with any of our farm animals under any circumstances.
-We may not allow holding of certain animals if the setup is on concrete, or for large events where the farm is at full capacity and vision of picking up cannot be obtains from our attendees.
-We generally do not allow the pickup of our rabbits
-We cannot take payments from guests, we can take tickets and check armbands etc.
Access
We require full vehicle access for all setup locations. Our farm animals must be able to walk off our trailer and into the setup pen, so we require full vehicle access, to either back up to or drive into for setup. Our trailer height and width requirements are 2.5m. Smaller access heights or widths are not acceptable.
We will ask you to send through photos of the access before we will take payment, but please ensure you have full access which is clear and ready for us on the day to avoid any disappointment.
- We cannot use doorways, gates, or access smaller than 2.5m wide and 2.5m tall.
- The access must be suitable for a horse float and towing vehicle (backing in from main roads narrow streets, etc may be unacceptable)
- Backyards MUST have vehicle access.
- We cannot setup on hills, stairs, or uneven floor.
- There are no exceptions to our setup requirements and failure to supply required access will result in our farm not being setup and all payment forfeited.
We recommend having a backup location, we can setup on front driveways, front yards, garages, carports, etc - We can supply ground cover for an added cost, or alternatively you can provide a tarp/flooring.
Park locations require council key access and approval from your local council – please contact your council for further information on park hire. Be sure to check with your council that they will open parks for hire before booking.
