At the heart of the Farmyard at Jukani is a message of Education, where kids learn about Farm animals.<\/p>\n

Currently around 67% of South Africans live in Urban communities. Farming and the animals that are found on a farm are about just as unknown to children living in these areas as wild animals. At the heart of the Farmyard at Jukani is a message of Education, where kids learn about Farm animals whilst actually experiencing and seeing these animals.<\/p>\n

The Farmhand at Jukani will entertain whilst educating the youngsters taking them to see the Pygmy Goats, Mini-Horses, Alpacas, Turkeys, Chickens and more.<\/p>\n

The Farmyard is the perfect place for your farm birthday.<\/p>\n

\"\"In 1658, John Amos Comenius published\u00a0<\/span>Orbis Pictus<\/em>, the world\u2019s first picture book for children. He knew then what we still know today: there is a magic in the connection between a child and a farm animal. From the “quacketh” of a duck to the “blaiteth” of a lamb, these stories have been the building blocks of our vocabulary, our social skills, and our understanding of the world for centuries.<\/div>\n
Most children grow up singing about\u00a0<\/span>Old MacDonald<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>or reading the rhythmic rhymes of\u00a0<\/span>Moo, Baa, La La La<\/em>. But at\u00a0<\/span>The Farmyard<\/strong>, those stories jump off the page and into the paddocks.<\/div>\n
While your little ones explore, they aren\u2019t just playing\u2014they are developing. Running through our open spaces sharpens their\u00a0<\/span>motor skills<\/strong>, while meeting a\u00a0<\/span>miniature horse<\/strong>\u2014finally, a horse their own size!\u2014builds a confidence that books alone cannot provide.<\/div>\n
The best part for the grown-ups?<\/strong><\/div>\n
You get to step back. While our\u00a0<\/span>dedicated Farmhand<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>leads the youngsters on a discovery of\u00a0<\/span>funky-haired Alpacas<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>sleeping Turkeys<\/strong>, you can find a moment of peace. Grab a\u00a0<\/span>steaming cup of coffee<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>from our caf\u00e9, breathe in the fresh air, and keep your camera ready. These aren’t just animals in a field; they are the backdrop for the\u00a0<\/span>core memories<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>you\u2019ll treasure forever.<\/div>\n
From the very first textbook to your child\u2019s first real-life “moo,” the farm is where curiosity grows. Come see the animals living their best life, and let your children live theirs.<\/div>\n
