Itinerary

STOP 1

In the mood for sharing food? We’ve recommended one of our favourite country markets in the GTA to grab a bite. On warmer days, we have suggested a farm where you can feed a few animals. Drive time to the second stop is 15 minutes.

STOP 2

Time to make feathered friends and feel like you're in Disney’s Snow White. We have a few options for both warmer and colder seasons. Drive time to the third stop is 20 minutes.

STOP 3

This stop is the dealer’s choice! We’ve recommended another fabulous farm, a quick walk to historic ruins and a few tasty lunch options. Drive time to the fourth stop is 15 minutes.

STOP 4

Your fourth stop is a very special place. With so many rescued animals, you can get right in the pens for snuggles and selfies! Please note, this stop needs to be booked in advance. We provide detailed instructions on this in the confirmation email.

Farm Friends Galore!

Getting to feed the farm animals on stop three was the absolute highlight of my day. I think that emu wanted to be my best friend haha. BRING SNACKS FOR THEM!

I went on this trip in the winter so the trail down to the second stop was a bit slick, so just be careful of the weather. If it's a gross day too some of the animals might not want to come out of their cozy shelters.

SO CUTE!

Great trip with the kids. So many animals. Some go into hiding in the winter, so might be best to go Spring-Fall. Remember to book the fourth stop ahead of time!
