If you are looking for a family-friendly outing in Swan Valley, Keller’s Farm is definitely well worth a visit. It has all the ingredients for a relaxed morning with the kids- fresh country air, friendly farm animals, delicious treats and plenty of space to slow down and enjoy quality family time together. Located on 104 Victoria Road, Dayton, Keller’s Farm is a family-run hobby farm that is only open to the public on the weekends from 8am to 4pm.
Their animal feeding experience is always a hit with little ones, giving them a chance to get up close with some of Keller’s Farm’s friendly farm animals. For $2 a basket (bring a few $2 coins as it is cash only with no change provided), children can fill up the basket with green vegetables and proceed to feed the cows over the fence.
It is a hands-on, great experience without feeling overwhelming, making it suitable for toddlers through to adults!
One of my kids’ highlights here was meeting the pigs and little piglets too.
Parents will appreciate the farm shop, stocked with fresh, local seasonal produce, and the café, with its well-known freshly baked pastries.
The owners, Philipp, who is originally from Switzerland, bakes Swiss Zopf and unique sweets, including his famous Swiss chocolate breadstick, while Marija bakes an array of sourdoughs using a natural starter. The aroma of wood-fired sourdough and freshly baked pastries fills the air, making it impossible to leave empty-handed! They also make their own products including quince paste, jam, muesli and dehydrated fruits.
There are many quirky spots around to sit and enjoy your coffee and baked goods. Even a book corner to make your stay longer. Toilets are available at the farm with plenty of parking spots.
Come during the winter months, and children can get to toast their marshmallows over the wood-fire pit too!
There is also a tractor for little ones to climb on for some photo opportunities.
What makes Keller’s Farm stand out is its genuine community feel. The friendly service, rustic setting and focus on locally produced food create an authentic, relaxed experience that one will remember. Whether you are stopping by for breakfast, shopping for quality produce or entertaining kids, there is something for everyone to enjoy! This place is also just a short 3 min drive from The Margaret River Chocolate Company Swan Valley, making it a perfect pit stop for a day out at Swan Valley!
Top tip: Be sure to get there early before all the pastries sell out! Sun protection is a must as much of the experience is outdoors.
