Outing with 2 children aged 5 and 7. Simply perfect. The location, the staff, the health and living conditions of the animals, the grocery store, the activities offered in addition to sheep shearing were all great. Everyone had a great time. We learned a lot. I'm going to come back very often and show this place to people who don't know it yet. Trying is adopting! Thank you to all the team for what you do every day and also a big bravo to the little hands that we do not see but do a very good job on the maintenance of the garden.
