About this experience

A 30-minute farm experience in Samford Valley. Come and meet up close our miniature Irish donkey, Cookie. He is very small, curious and full of personality. This is a quiet, booked encounter at City Chicks Farm and Cafe at our Barn area next to the cafe. While other visitors get to watch, you go into the Barn area to get up close. No rush. No crowds. Just you, a beautiful little donkey, a couple of rescue calves and a pocket of country air. Brush Cookie and the calves with our soft brushes. Offer a treat of chaff. Take the photos you will actually keep. Cookie lives with our rescue calves, so the session has that real farm feeling. 1 person. Thirty minutes. 10am daily. $22 per person Perfect for a unique Brisbane day trip, couples and friends, photographers, or anyone wanting a gentle animal experience. If children accompany participating adults, they must remain under the direct supervision of their parent or carer at all times. As a working farm, City Chicks does not provide supervised children's activities. When Cookie has had enough he will let you know. That is how a good farm visit should feel.
