Taking a much-needed mental health day today, so we’ll be closed. I normally try very hard to push through, but today I need to take a step back and rest.

Thank you always for the understanding and support ❤️

Little late to post this but better late than never I guess 😅

A huge thank you to everyone for their kindness and patience for Makayla last week. The coffee cart threw everything at her and she handled it like a champ. Sam and I had an absolutely amazing time down in Otago. I found a purple door at the Lavender Farm that I wanted to take home and we also picked some apples, plums and pears fresh from the trees which will soon be featured in this week’s muffins!

Returning to reality sucks but not having to pay Queenstown prices for my coffee each morning helps 😅 see you soon ❤️

Good morning everyone, sorry to say that I have decided not to open this morning. This weather is just too horrific. The rain is coming straight inside my windows so I’ve decided to sit this one out. Hope you all stay safe today 🥰

Morning everyone, unfortunately I slept through my alarms this morning and it has now turned into a bit of a mental health day. I hope you all get to enjoy this sunshine at some point today ❤️

Hey everyone, I’m so sorry to do this when I’ve only been back for a week but the last two months have really caught up to me with a vengeance so I’ve taken today off. I hope you all have a fantastic day ❤️

2025 has pulled through and given us a good burst of sunshine and a couple of adorable customers 🥰🥰🥰

No flowers and caffeine tomorrow 😭 I mean my feet are glad after the crazy day we’ve had today 😂 we will just have to see you on the bonus Tuesday ❤️

Closed tomorrow – Monday 29 December ☔🌬️

Due to very high winds and heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, we’ll be closed on Monday 29 December. The conditions mean we can’t safely operate the bouncy castles, and it just wouldn’t be a great farm day for anyone.

We’re so sad about this - but unfortunately, we can’t control the sky ☔🌬️

Good news though!
Although we’re usually closed on Tuesdays, we’ll be OPEN Tuesday 30 December instead. The weather is looking great, and we know lots of you are on holiday and keen for a farm day 🌻🦋

Thank you so much for understanding - we can’t wait to see you Tuesday! .nz and will be there too.

📸 .nz proving you can take beautiful photos in the rain!

Thank you Franklin Farm for having us for the summer ❤️
