You'll be transported to the New Zealand countryside to see the surrounds of our beautiful farm and meet our friendly, naturally coloured Corriedale sheep & lambs. Our wooly sheep will come right up to us to say hello and have a pat and I'll answer any questions you may have. I'll explain how they are looked after on the farm, the lambs and breeding cycle and how we rescue and carefully feed any orphan lambs. You can even learn a bit about the history of sheep farming in New Zealand. Next, I'll explain how wool is shorn from the sheep, skirted, washed & dried. Then we will select wool, alpaca, lama and possum fibres to blend and card into large batts of fibre that are then spun into yarn. We might meet Joey the sheep dog too. I'll use the wool that we've just made to give you a spinning demo on my spinning wheel. There will be lots of opportunity for guests to ask questions about farming, our friendly, wooly friends or wool processing. This Experience is great fun for corporate events, team-building, date nights, and special occasions with friends and family. You're welcome to book a private experience for your group for lots of laughs, time to connect with nature and de-stress and learn a bit along the way. Please message me to schedule your event or if the time you would like is not on the schedule. Individual bookings and educational kids groups also welcome.

This self guided tour starts from the funky little village of Okato and make your way along the not so busy back road heading towards Mount Taranaki. You pass through some farmland and pockets of bush slowly making your way up towards the national park. A quick detour can take you to the Stony river reserve. I can tell you where the best swimming holes are, they change from time to time. Afterwards you will find yourself cruising through the rain forest. Listen out for the native birds such as tui, kereru, bellbird and many more. If your really lucky you might hear the call of a Kiwi. With free entry, take a rest and walk around the beautiful Pukeiti gardens. Have a coffee or lunch at the Founders cafe. From here continue along the road until eventually you exit the rain forest and get an amazing view over New Plymouth, the Kaitake ranges and the Pouakai ranges. Head down hill from here through lush farmland to Oakura, the seaside resort of Taranaki. Buy an ice cream, swim in the sea or hire a surf board before continuing along the coastal walkway and explore the different beaches and fresh water swimming holes then back onto the highway for just a few kms from where you will make your way back to Okato where you can re-energize at one of the 3 local cafes. On a clear day this is one of the region's best rides and our E bikes take out the hard work of cycling up hill. Other things to note These are mountain E bikes and guests must be fit enough hold the bike, get onto the bike and to assist with pedaling. The whole journey is approx 50kms and takes at about 3 hours with no stops.
