Farm experiences

Agricultural roots run deep in Ontario, with a welcoming farming community ready to share authentic, meaningful and sustainable rural experiences. Slow your pace, appreciate nature and discover where good, wholesome food comes from on a guided, hands-on farm tour.

Ontario farms grow more than food; they nurture connection. Treat your kids to a meet-and-greet with the farm animals they’ve only seen in storybooks, climb aboard a wagon ride and explore a corn maze. Chat with beekeepers and horse wranglers, get up close to alpacas, choose the perfect pumpkin or cut your own Christmas tree. Taste the freshness of just-picked fruits and berries and savour golden honey, maple syrup or small-batch ciders crafted on-site.

For a more immersive taste of rural life, set out on a scenic horseback trail ride or settle into a cozy farm stay and wake to the rhythm of the countryside.

Find your connection with Ontario’s one-of-a-kind rural escapes and fun-filled farm experiences.
