Group Tours
Aside from getting fresh produce and delicious treats, Hawkes Farm also offers group tours for community groups, schools, kindergartens, and childcare centres. The tour will take you on a little adventure around the 140-acre farm riding a trailer towed by a tractor. You’ll have the opportunity to pick some vegetables to take home and relax in the veggie patch where you can talk to the farmers and learn about vegetables and other produce.
