The animal experience at Pearsons Farm was absolutely wonderful and truly memorable. Getting up close with the animals was such a special experience, especially for those who love learning about farm life in a hands-on way. The animals are clearly well cared for, happy, and treated with so much respect.
A huge highlight of the visit was our tour guide, James. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, making the tour both educational and fun. James took the time to answer questions, share interesting facts, and ensure everyone felt included and comfortable throughout the experience. His passion for the animals and the farm really shone through and made the visit even more enjoyable.
I would highly recommend the animal experience at Pearsons Farm — especially if you’re lucky enough to have James as your guide. An amazing day out for all ages

We had such a lovely visit up to the farm in Clarendon. The views are stunning and the animals are so gorgeous and extremely well cared for. James our guide was very informative and it was an amazing experience for my international co worker. I really enjoyed listening to the ideas they have for the future and love that the property is so accessible and close to the CBD definitely worth a visit. Thank you once again James

Ordered fertile eggs in August. In January finally got back in touch, and in Feb was offered a refund. Refund was never received and emails have been ignored.
