25.01.2022 There is something special about the experience of seeing a hen sitting on their eggs, being excited for hatching day and then watching mum teach them how to be chickens. Parenting at its best

25.01.2022 Meet Rusty Most of our animals are used in our therapy programs or animal experiences but Rusty is a bit different, his job is to look after our animals and especially the baby animals. Rusty is the most placid and beautiful dog, but at night he will watch and if a fox should threaten his flock he will take action. Little John can play and grow big and strong with no risk of being hurt by a fox

24.01.2022 Meet our beautiful chickens, they have a huge aviary to sleep in at night and during the day a big paddock which we have dog proofed. I love seeing them forage and be chickens These guys will eventually be a part of our farm experience day

23.01.2022 Look at these cuties in the storm we had a couple of weeks ago, they were abandoned by their mum. They are on 4 bottles a day and love all the attention they can get

23.01.2022 Wow what a surprise, baby John arrived some time overnight or this morning. We weren’t really expecting him but look at him, how adorable and well he certainly doesn’t take after mum. The other animals were really confused, we had to move the ponies out as they were too friendly

22.01.2022 Whos the king of the castle? Mounds of dirt around here create endless play opportunities

22.01.2022 Yoshi looking her best on this beautiful day Yoshi is taking part in our animal programs over the school holidays

21.01.2022 Our Friday social group enjoyed coming up to the farm today. They met the animals, went for a walk and enjoyed some home made cake

19.01.2022 These guys, are going down the PAHS House tonight to attend the animal social group. We are going to have some very happy children

19.01.2022 Our new chickens are settling in at the Farm and we are certainly enjoying the bounty of beautiful fresh eggs. But it is also fascinating to watch chickens social structures. We have over 50 chickens now and they have defined little friendship groups. There are the brave chickens who venture far out into the paddocks, the loner chickens, the chickens who desperately want friends but no one likes them and they get bullied and the chickens who are just crazy, loving life and always into mischief As a speech pathologist I have found one of the hardest skillsets to teach kids are the social cues and boundaries. Maybe we should be utilising our chickens as role models, it is so obvious when watching them what is happening

16.01.2022 Most people walk their dog but Farmer Dave likes to walk his donkey, so cute, right? But it is also good training for Blossom, who needs to be bullet proof. Tonight she has had 4 dogs around her feet, walked on gravel, concrete and grass, and met numerous different animals. It is kind of like training a big puppy, lots of socialisation now will make Blossom an amazing therapy assistant

12.01.2022 Could animal-assisted social work help prevent mental illness and suicide? Social workers often see people who are resistant to trust, have been hurt by others ...and may have attachment disorders. Animals can often be a very valuable bridge back to establishing a human relationship. They help build trust and can give people the sense that they can have positive relationships again.
