OUR EXTENDED FAMILY

Meet the heart and soul of our farm....
These beautiful creatures all have a place and purpose in our family. Some of them rescued, some purposely sort out to help expand programs, develop skills, educate and share all that they have to offer with others . All our animals help towards creating a sustainable program and work towards biodiversity. 
We will be looking into rescuing and re-homing more animals in the future.

ARROW

Leader of the pack

Arrow was the first 4 legged friend we welcomed to our family. He is a gentle giant that will happily accept cuddles, wear a party hat or just hang out with the guys/girls.
He is an ex race horse that is worth his weight in gold.

COPPER

Second in charge

Copper was a rescue horse we welcomed to our family in 2019. He was scared of his own shadow and even more afraid of people when we first met him. Over time Copper has come out of his shell and realised he had nothing to be afraid of. He now loves people and enjoys all the attention....and food.

LADY BAA BAA

Fastest sheep in the valley

Baa Baa was rescued from a local farmer. She was one of 3 lambs born and required 24 hour care and feeding. She became Sarahs side kick at Women Washing Windows and followed her around everywhere she went. Now she is a sheep she happily lives in the paddock with her farm friends. She has been known as the fastest sheep in the valley after winning the 'Annual sheep race' however she also loves her food. This seems to be slowing her down lately. :)

BLACK SHEEP

Aka Beyonce

Beyonce was welcomed to our family as a companion for BaaBaa. Hence the name 'black sheep'. Beyonce was also hand raised by a young boy in the valley and loves being around people.

MISSY MOO

farmyard favourite

Missy moo was rescued in 2019. She was bread as beef cattle, however struggled to suckle from her mother. Lucky for her she came to live with us when she was a few weeks old, and now lives out her days with her farm friends. She had a rough start to life and was a little nervous around people, however she too has learn't, alongside some of our participants that there is nothing to be afraid of.

CHICKENS

Hard woking ladies

We have the most respect for these ladies and roosters. They are free range on our property and originally purchased so that we could have free range eggs, However these chickens have been a big part of the program in other areas also. A number of visitors enjoy interacting, engaging and petting these girls too.

THE BEE FAMILY

Head of biodiversity

We entered the world of beekeeping in 2019. We are forever learning and grateful for all the support from our local keeper Mick and the team at Flow Hive.

We have been lucky enough to harvest some of the liquid gold already and are enjoying this new venture.

Our bees are an intergral part of our farming program.

BEAU

Farm Coordinator

Beau is Sarah's one true love. Got his name from Arrow (Beau and Arrow )

He is loved by all and has a personality like no other. He prides himself on making sure all the animals are safe and where they should be. One of his favourite things to do, when he is not chasing a ball, is the evening routine. Beau rounds up the chickens at night and makes sure they are locked up safely. 


LUNA

Director of Animal Therapies

Some dogs are trained to be therapy dogs. Luna was simply born one. Forever faithful and always by your side, Luna has a way of knowing exactly who needs her most, and her loveable face has won the heart of everyone who visits the farm. When she's not on comfort duty, you'll find her hunting down a ball (her one true obsession) or tagging along on the day's adventure. Whether it's the paddocks or the beach, if you're going, Luna's coming.

The Stockyard Community Farm is a child safe organisation
