도시인들, 자녀들과 함께 목장 구경하러 가보는 날!
목장에 따라 어린이들을 위한 양털깍기, 양몰이 개 시범, 트랙터와 조랑말 타기 등
고무장화 멀리 던지기, 건초더미에서 사탕 찾기,
어떻게 초원에서 우유가 만들어지고, 우리 도시인들의 식탁에 오르는가 생생한 과정을 배울 수도 있다.
* 예약 없이 일요일 낮에 아래 웰컴베이 산속 목장을 찾아가기면 될 듯!
Townies craving a bit of the country life will have a chance to get their hands dirty this weekend.
Federated Farmers has invited families to visit the McLeod Farm on Sunday to see the animals, the characters and the way of life that makes up the farming industry.
"This is a great chance for townies to come get some hands-on time in the paddock and reconnect with the rural community," John Scrimgeour, Federated Farmers Bay of Plenty president, said. "It's a great opportunity for children and their families to spend a day interacting with farm animals. The McLeod Farm itself is a family operation, with Noel and Marilyn McLeod equity partners with their son and daughter-in-law, Andrew and Robyn McLeod who run the farm day to day."
Mr Scrimgeour said it would be a fun day for families and it's free. There will be interactive activities for the children, such as shearing and sheep dog demonstrations and also tractor and pony rides.
"As well as the fun elements for the kids, we will also be having a few talks on the tour about sustainable farming from experts, working to dispel some of the myths surrounding farming."
Gumboot throwing competitions and a "find the lolly in the haystack" games will keep the young and the young at heart entertained.
There will also be a sausage sizzle to help fundraise for the local school.
"The real goal of Farm Day is to get families who haven't visited a farm in a while to come have a laugh with us in the paddock. They might even learn something. We want to turn kids on to the whole farming process, from pasture to plate," Mr Scrimgeour said.
