'Renae is so passionate about farming & educating people on exactly what happens on a farm. She’s incredibly welcoming & personable, and her talks are not only informative, but entertaining too. The afternoon tea is pure perfection, with plenty of homemade goodies, coffee & tea. We walked away with a great appreciation for just how much work is involved in farming. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, highly recommend to anyone travelling through the Esperance area!' ...Amy S, March 2022
