What is it about a nurturing farmstay that makes one rethink one’s place in the universe? The illusion that the life of Farmer Brown is one of endless pastoral bliss? Those khaki shorts he wears 24/7? An unexplored preference for the four-legged species (hey, each to his own...)? Whatever it is, there’s something about a farm weekend that is food to a jaded soul. And now is as good a time as any for your session of weekend therapy: the canola fields are an LSD explosion of yellow, the lambs are adorable (even more adorable with rosemary) and those khaki shorts are tighter than ever… But whatever you do, choose the right farm - avoid the Verdriets and Gatsonderwaters of the farming world – they tend to live up to their names. Instead, stick to our handpicked recommendations and you’re in for an E I E I O brilliant time!
