Fitzroy Farm

Experience Traditional Farm Life and Savor Homemade Delights Gain insight on farming in the Falklands during a visit to a traditional sheep farm. Drive to Fitzroy, where upon arrival, you will be greeted by your host before beginning your introduction to sheep farming. Watch as the sheepdogs take center stage, demonstrating their prodigious talents for herding sheep in accordance with their master’s commands. You will then witness a shearing demonstration and learn about the process of wool preparation—from harvesting the fleece to sending it to market—and enjoy an opportunity to handle the wool. Outside, there will be a display of various vehicles used around the farm. End the day with a stop at Settlement Hall for smoko , the traditional name for midmorning or afternoon break. Enjoy a chat with the farm manager over homemade scones with jam and cream, before returning to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
