Autism advocate Beck Kelly has organised the occasion - which 20 families have signed up for - due to research showing animal therapy has proved successful in helping children with autism.

Ms Kelly said she was inspired to organise the group visit after seeing her own children - who have autism - connect with the goats during a previous visit.

"It was magical - magic happened that day - it was brilliant, just brilliant, to watch these kids interact with goats," she said.

"There's a goat there that always gives me kisses.

"It's going to be so much fun."

The group will meet at the farm at 12.30pm next Wednesday - October 1 - to pat and feed goats, sheep and chicken.
