Join in at Chin Chin Farm
2023 is bound to be an exciting time at Chin Chin Farm. We have more bushfoods going in as well as a range of native flowers and proteas.
In addition to this, we are planning a range of workshops so that we can share our love of our farm with you. We are excited at the prospect of sharing our little piece of paradise with visitors. Our workshops this year will cover a range of opportunities such as clay building, Kokedama making, make your own pot pourri and damper making using our native bushfoods.
