Wild weather on the farm

Wild weather has hit the farm over the past 2 days.  Spectacular storm clouds built up yesterday afternoon prior to the beautiful rain we received last night.  Without warning we received not 1 but 3 separate hail storms this afternoon.  The temperature dropped dramatically and the animals dived for cover as the hail pelted the ground and crops. 

The weather is now supposed to return to beautiful Winter days, perfect for a visit to our farm and the Scenic Rim region.  Farm camping spaces are still available to take advantage of the coming Winter days.  Our calendar for school holiday activities for families will be released shortly.  Email tommerups@bigpond.com to obtain your copy. 

See you soon - down on the farm.

FarmDay 2011 - Thanks to the Johnston family

Farm Day 2011 and the weather on our farm was spectacular!
We thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know our 'city family'; Michelle Johnston and her boys, Alex & Hamish.

The guinea pigs were once again a huge hit with our visitors but the Johnston family happily joined in with all the farm chores for the day.  Riding bikes around the farm with Harry & Georgia was great fun for Alex & Hamish and a picnic lunch down the river was great for exploring and collecting rocks.  We hope they enjoyed their day on our farm.

MooGoo Skincare films on our farm

The crew from MooGoo Skincare took advantage of the beautiful Autumn weather and stunning blue skies on our farm this week to film their training video and product promos.  The milkers behaved themselves very well and added to the spectacular backdrop.  They are stars once again!

Check out the MooGoo product range on the MooGoo website.  We use & recommend MooGoo skincare products.

Farm Camping - space available June long weekend

Farm camp sites are still available for the June long weekend 10th - 13th June 2011. 

Wake up to the sound of kookaburras, cattle and roosters!  Bring your tent, campervan or camper trailer and enjoy a weekend of fun on the farm.  

Don your winter woolies and join us at the dairy for the morning milking (OR NOT!); help feed and care for our farm animals, take in the sights and sounds of a genuine working dairy farm; join us at far more civilised temperatures for the afternoon milking; or just simply enjoy the peace and quiet of our 200 acre farm.

Autumn is a fantastic time on the farm; cooler temperatures perfect for a camp fire and brilliant clear blue skies during the day perfect for exploring the farm and local area.

Bookings essential.  Limited numbers apply.  Cost includes all farm activities.  Prices start from $25/person/night.  Call us Kay or Dave on 5544 9269 or email tommerups@bigpond.com .  See you on the farm this Queen's birthday weekend.

Au revoir Bene & Eric - we'll see you in France!!

Our fabulous French WWOOFers left yesterday for the next part of their Australian journey.  After spending 10 weeks on the farm with us we will certainly miss their company and friendship.  It has been a steep learning curve for us all but we thoroughly enjoyed it.  To Bene & Eric - we'll see you in France.  Thanks for the memories!!

Welcome to Tommerup's Dairy Farm

Welcome blog followers!  Tommerup's Dairy Farm is finally becoming techno-savvy (well as much as dairy farmers can!!!).  Become a blog follower to keep up to date with our farm adventures.  Our French WWOOFers have opened our eyes to the world of 'blogging' so here we go, a new journey of discovery for the family.  Harry & Georgia are helping me learn how to blog so our visitors and friends can feel like they are still right here on the farm enjoying the animals, the scenery and the company.
