Farm Kids Mini Farmers – Corny Corn

Farm Kids Mini Farmers – Corny Corn Workshop
@ The Farm Byron Bay

Learn all about Corny Corn at our Farm Kids Mini Farmers Workshop. Did you know corn is a grass and the edible part is its flower? Find out about the history of corn and what cooking products are corn based? Did you know corn was originally purple and comes in lots of colours? We will make popcorn, creat a corn collage, paint with corn and plant corn seeds and seedlings in the garden.

The kids become mini farmers and after a detailed tour get set to work doing farm chores. We collect eggs, restock our pet chickens bedding, ensure they have fresh water and clean out the coup. We work on our dedicated Farm Kids garden plot and tend to our onsite worm Subpod. If the opportunity arises, we assist the farmers with their chores. They forage, cook, make natural products, create and see where their food comes from as well as experience countless opportunities to learn about teamwork, community, and ethical farming practices.
