Great environment, helps kids learn about where their food comes from, while also meeting and petting some cute animals

We loved the experience. Farmer Ben is passionate about their practices. Tractor ride was a lot of fun and a great to learn about the farm and animals. Went with my 2 and 3 year old. Would recommend if your kids can sit relatively well and aren’t majorly disruptive.

What a wonderful gem we’ve found at Wild about Wellbeing! We’ve visited 4 times now and we’ll certainly be back many many more times.
Farmer Ben is so friendly and we loved hearing about how passionate he is about his beautiful farm and sustainability as well as his grand plans for the place. All the staff have been so welcoming and friendly too. My two girls loved the tractor ride and the pony rides, definitely a highlight of visiting.
I particularly love how important the safety and well-being of the animals is to Farmer Ben, as being kind and respectful to animals is so important to us (certainly something not all farms strive by).
We are so excited for his grand plans for Wild about Wellbeing, we just can’t wait until the restaurant is open.in the meantime we’ll definitely be back for those amazing golden delicious apples!

Have been here twice now, tractor ride on its own was fun. Easter carnival however, needs improvement. Spent over $85 for 2 kids to have a Easter hunt that lasted only 2 minutes and a 10 minute tractor ride for a family of 5 (which we had to wait over half an hour for despite prebooking). We weren't allowed to take food in -there was only the choice of pizza or icecream which stopped just after 1pm. Signs would have been helpful to understand where to go for things, we were yelled at by staff for going in the wrong entry for the Easter hunt. Not a great experience and left feeling pretty ripped off.

Nice view, very relaxing and my 3 year old enjoyed the tractor ride. Farmer Ben very was freindly. There are chickens, rabits, baby pig, guniea pigs, ducks, horses and donkeys which we can cuddle and pat. After each visit of animals Ben helped us to sanitise and wash hands which was nice of him. We would love to go back to this farm again.

This place is amazing! What an experience. The premises is just breathtaking and so much potential with future developments and promising plans. So many things for kids to do and great interactions with animals and farm facilities.
Farmer Ben and his daughter Elise are lovely hosts and so knowledgeable and caring.
Highly recommend a visit and we will definitely be returning many more times.

Great experience today for the littlies! Farmer Ben gave a great commentary, lots of fun for the children feeding animals, collecting eggs, picking up baby chickens and ducklings. Fantastic plans for the future; we’ll be back for the ice cream soon!

A very unpleasant morning with my 4yo + 6yo. The farm owner berated all passengers (mostly children) at the conclusion of the 1 hour tractor tour including saying that he never wanted to see our faces again and we were not welcome back. The tractor tour is NOT kid friendly from my experience. You will need to remain quiet on the tractor as apparently the farmer has a lot to talk about, otherwise you are at risk of being totally humiliated, upset and berated by the farm owner in front of your own children and others. What is most upsetting, is the lack of clear communication skills and a general sense of professionalism. What should have been a private and civil adult conversation so they could raise their concerns was instead a humiliating verbal attack on a group of mothers, their infants and children. Better still, if our behaviour during the tour was so abhorrent, then perhaps discretely bringing this to light at some stage during the 1 hour tour would have been a far more effective way of handling the situation. Much to learn in the way of communication I feel. Very strange. I have never had such a poor and upsetting experience with my kids on a “fun” day out.

From my experience today, the proprietors have become so absorbed in their philosophy for sustainable farming that they have lost sight of how to be gracious hosts. Very disappointing and extremely unprofessional behaviour. What a horrible morning.

Took my 3 kids here today (1,4 + 7years) they had an amazing time. The pony rides were great and the lovey girl took so much time with the kids to teach them about the horses. The play area kept them entertained while waiting for the Tractor ride to start.
The Tractor ride was amazing- Farmer Ben was so great with the kids, explaining how to handle to animals safely and the education on how they are running the farm sustainably.
A wonderful activity if you have children who love animals and are respectful towards the animals.

I visited the farm today and loved every part of it. Ben the farmer was so passionate about the animals and talking about the farm.

The tractor was so fun for the kids and us adults. I have looked over some reviews and felt sad that anyone could leave negative comments. Maybe there wasn’t much respect for the animals, and land of certain attendees.

If I could give 0 stars I ABSOLUTELY would!
My children (2,6 & 8 years old) visited this farm today with friends from school and are extremely upset with they treatment they received from the business owner, Ben the farmer.
They were spoken to extremely rudely and were told to never show their faces again and are not welcome back. Ben expressed his anger with the children not being interested in the topic of sustainability on the farm.
I suggest the tour is reconstructed to cater to young children as you would expect.
I STRONGLY advise avoiding this business at all costs. Children should NOT be subjected to being berated by a grown man for no good reason. An absolute shame.

Fun for all ages! Beautiful place, gorgeous view and lovely staff. We had a great family time last Saturday. Lots to do; pony ride, tractor ride, feeding Harry and Henry the donkeys and some fluffy cuddles and of course fresh yummy sour cherries to bring home. We will come back soon! Thank you

Really disappointing wouldn’t recommend going if you have kids six and under. We went as a group thinking it was going to be a fun farm experience but were rudely told we should have gone to chesterfield. The kids were really upset with the way the farmer spoke to them as were we. Not a great finish to the school holidays!

This is such a beautiful place to admire creation.
The people are so friendly, the food is all organic and my children absolutely loved the tractor ride and farm experience. I would highly recommend
