DAVID HARRIS visited 'The Giving Farm', 'Iris Lodge Alpacas' in Jilliby, 'Pick Your Own Oranges' at Dooralong and 'Amazement Fun and Farm Park' in the Yarramalong Valley.
All venues allow you to learn and experience real farm life - you can pick tulip’s and iris's, blueberries and oranges, as well as feeding farm animals. There is also kid's painting classes and classic farm games and activities at some locations.

Nearby it is worth stopping at 'Pick Your Own Oranges' in Dooralong, where you can meander among the 3,000 fruit trees while you pick your oranges.
