22.01.2022 I will be supporting people with challenges to share the amazing animals of Where Pigs Fly. The trip will be on a weekly basis and I can collect people from the Newcastle/Cessnock area to spend a few hours at the farm. Participation is up to the individual. Sweeping and raking, feeding animals and just giving out loving hugs are on the agenda. The only thing required is a love for animals and respect for rules to keep us and the animals safe. At the moment participants need reasonable mobility as the terrain can be unstable.

21.01.2022 Even sheep need guidance sometimes. Seamus the blind sheep, relies on Eve to show him the greener grass. People can also need support and guidance to reach their goals. Ask about our six week program, an introduction to farm work and working with animals. Dont let having a disability stand in the way of your passion

20.01.2022 The thing about farm work is theres lots of poo. The farm now has a fantastic new poo sucker. It works just like a vaccum and has made work a bit easier. Anyone who is joining me at the farm will have the option to have a go. Of course the traditional poo shovel is still in use.... Either way I find picking up poo quite thereputic. See more

19.01.2022 The weekly group activity of farm hand at Where Pigs Fly is suitable for participants who can understand basic instructions with guidance. Groups are limited to four participants to ensure everyone has the support they need to achieve. There are chores to do at the farm and are often interrupted by a goat or sheep wanting a pat. Participants will need to be reasonably ambulant as the ground in sloped and can be uneven. Contact me, Kate, on messenger, email, phone and check out the website to arrange a meet and greet or to find out more.

12.01.2022 I am hosting a small meet and greet at Where Pigs Fly on Wednesday 4th March. If you are a coordinator or carer and think this weekly activity may suit one of your clients or relatives, please contact me for more info. We will have a tour of the farm and what tasks will be undertaken by the participants during the tour. Followed by morning tea. Numbers are limited so please contact me to book.

11.01.2022 A little background on me. Im Kate and Ive been passionate about animals since two years old, when I fell in love with a book about animals by Harry Buttler I have been involved with rescuing wildlife over the years, we have pets and chicken pets at home as well. I have been volunteering at Where Pigs Fly for about 3 years and have had the pleasure of working with some young people at the farm with challenges in that time. Im currently working as a disability support worker i...n group homes in my area. By creating Animals connect, Im merging two of my lifes interests and Im very excited! See more

10.01.2022 Animals Connect has a new logo. Tell us what you think.

09.01.2022 Welcome to Animals Connect! Please spread the word or share with a person you know who has challenges, that would love an opportunity to gain experiences working in a farm setting. At the moment the NDIS can be used for this service if the person is self or plan managed. I will be looking into NDIS managed in the future.

09.01.2022 Exciting News! Animals Connect has added 2 new support types to our model. Wildlife carer assistance - Helping with animal chores under the guidance of a wildlife carer. (Wombat cuddles a reward for hard work) and Wild walks - Going out in nature to spot all kinds of animals including whale watching (at certain times of year), bird watching. Getting some exercise at the same time. Both of these will be starting up soon for one on one supports.
