What's happening at the farm
22 April 2012
Kookootonga Farm closed for 2012
Thank you to all our visitors this season, both familiar and new. We hope you have enjoyed the visit and the nuts you harvested. The trees have told us that they have given up all their fruit and they are ready to shed their leaves and sleep for winter.
From mid March until late April 2013 those trees will be ready to give their all to those who visit, as always we will keep their progress posted on this site.
HAVE A GREAT TIME AT KOOKOOTONGA BUT REMEMBER WE ARE A WORKING FARM AND YOU NEED TO TAKE NOTE OF A FEW THINGS TO MAKE YOUR VISIT SAFE AND FUN
The nearest shops and service stations are 40km away in Bilpin or Mt Victoria so stock up before you set out. Those who are making a day of it can use the lovely picnic facilities in Mount Wilson.
NO dogs are allowed on the property as we have our own dogs to consider and many other customers with children may not approve of dogs.
Do not climb the trees as the risk of falls and injuries is too great and the nearest hospital is 45 km away.
Remember that, whilst unlikely, you may encounter wildlife like spiders and snakes so take care and be alert. If you encounter a snake then leave it alone, move away and let us know. Do not attempt to kill it or interfere with it in any way.
It's a good idea to bring good quality gloves with you to protect you from chestnut burrs and other hazards. We do have gloves for sale.
Please avoid areas where farm machinery and equipment is kept and where hazard tape or rope barriers have been installed.
The map and FAQs on our site are well worth a look, lots of our customers report they have been very helpful.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our farm and look forward to seeing you soon. Mark, Robyn, Bill, Ruth, Joan and Gary.
