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.

Is it a hen or rooster? Well, in this case, it's definitely a rooster...one of our farm's free ranging chicken flock. But never judge a book by its cover; occasionally hens can be known to crow! Sometimes, in flocks with no roosters, a hen may take on a masculine role. She may act as a bodyguard for the flock, assert more dominance over other hens, and yes, she may start crowing! #animals #cuteanimals #farm #farmlife #calmsleyhill #calmsleyhillcityfarm #fairfieldcity #seeaustralia_nsw #australia #visitnsw #newsouthwales #nsw #ilovesydney #dailytelegraph #sydneyweekender #animalsofinstagram #rooster #chicken #chickens #poultry
