Macleay Valley Farm, down Syd Sutherlands Lane in Clybucca, is a ripper spot for families looking to get a bit of authentic farm life. It's a working farm that opens its gates Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, from 8 am to 12 pm. You'll find it an easy run from places like South West Rocks, Hat Head, and Crescent Head, and even Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour aren't too far. They've got a whole crew of friendly farm animals, all hand-raised, just waiting for a pat or a cuddle. Think lambs, alpacas, goats, chickens, turkeys, geese, rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep, cows, ducks, ponies, and even some baby calves. You can grab a feed bag for a few bucks and get right amongst it, making some furry friends pretty happy. Beyond the animal fun, they've got some good stuff to take home too. They make their own beauty products on site using ingredients like raw honey and tallow from the farm. Plus, you can pick up local honey and whatever seasonal veggies they've got fresh from the garden. If you're after a unique party idea, you can even hire the whole farm for a couple of hours in the afternoon for birthdays, which includes plenty of animal feed. It's a great way to make some lasting memories on the Mid North Coast.
