G'day everyone,
On Monday morning Channel 7's Sunrise program will be filming live from the farm, in support of "Flanno for a Farmer" (see the link below to learn about what they do and how you can support them).
If you are interested in coming along to show your support we're looking for a small crowd to help make a morning of it. If you'd like to come you need to be here by 630-7am (630 would be great) till about 845am, if you can wear a Flanno as well that would be awesome.
If you would like to be involved please post your interest in the comments with what time you can arrive and how many people will be with you.
Depending on the amount of interest, we might not be able to have everyone. We'll let you know by DM if we'd like you to come along.
Thanks for your support.

We would like to introduce you to the newest additions to our farm family...

Daisy (who we featured in a previous post with her darling boy, and is shown in our photos here with her new bff Custard) is a 6 year old purebred Jersey girl. Her bestie Cheddar is 4 year old Jersey x Belgian Blue girl.

Along with Dixie and Maggie, they are part of our milking herd and you might have a chance to get close to them during our milking demonstrations. They have settled in so well, it's hard to believe they've just arrived!

Thank you to for trusting us to care for your two beautiful girls.

Glenbernie Family Farms is a family-run flower farm located in the Hawkesbury area (on the Bells Line of Road), which is open to the public. Visitors to Glenbernie are welcome to pick their own beautiful sunflowers. They also provide opportunities for photoshoots.

Scrambles copped a bit of cat-itude when one of our poddy calves invaded her own personal napping spot in the dairy yard today.

After a few chilly stares, they hissed and made up.
