We pride ourselves on providing the most authentic farm stay experience for our guests.  Activities are conducted by the farmers, with the farmers, doing chores that we do as part of our life on the farm.

​Please note these activities are for farm stay guests only.

MILKING

Our Jersey girl dairy herd is milked every morning and afternoon, in one of the last remaining walk through dairies in Queensland. A ritual played out over 5 generations of Farmer Dave's family, beginning over 100 years ago.
Far from putting on a show, we're all about giving our guests a genuine dairy farm experience on our historic property.
We invite our guests to join our farming family at the dairy where you can lend a hand milking our cows. You'll get up close and personal with our girls and see the full process from our farm to your fridge.
​
Milking happens at around 7am daily.

(see your welcome information for details)

RESTRICTIONS APPLY FOR MILKING ACTIVITIES DURING COVID

Animal Feeding

The menagerie of animals on Tommerup's Farm are fed daily.  Our farm is generally home to calves, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens and guinea pigs.  Get your hands dirty and join Kay to feed the farm animals. ​

Calf & Pig Feeding

Our pigs and calves are fed on nutritious fresh milk from our milking herd and skim milk from our Farm Creamery.  Squeals of delight can be heard from the pigs as the farm buggy arrives laden with buckets of milk.​

Smashing Pumpkins Pig Feeding

Fresh pumpkin is part of the varied diet our heritage breed, free range pigs enjoy. The art of feeding them has become a somewhat famous activity! Sure to make the highlight list for your farm stay holiday, don't miss the fun of the smashed pumpkin feeding frenzy.

Tanker Day

Our milk is collected by tanker every 2nd day and delivered to the Norco milk factory for processing.  Come along and view the process as the tanker driver checks and collects our milk.​
Please check when booking which activities are included in your tariff, and which incur an extra charge.
Times listed for activities are a guide only and you will be advised of actual times on arrival at our farm.
