Our Little Farmers Toddler Program, geared for children ages 2-4 years old, is a joyful introduction to farm life where children learn, move, and grow through curiosity, imagination, and outdoor discovery. It is a hands-on learning experience where kids explore nature, interact with farm animals, and learn through outdoor play.

What people say about our farm…
Amazing time with our toddler here. Super kid friendly. Had an opportunity to feed goats and sheep. Pet rabbits. Pick and decorate pumpkins. Drink hot apple cider. Stroll through the woods. And go on a couple tractor rides. Our little one was pooped at the end of it. Will definitely be back !
It was amaziiing!!! One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been near Toronto 😍
They have a beautiful farm and veryyyy cute animals 🐇 🐏
Stuff was soooo friendly ☺️ We had an opportunity to feed animals, pick fresh beans and enjoy nature 🌳
A MUST SEE! highly recommend this place and DEFINITELY will visit again in Autumn 🍂 🥰
We had such a marvellous day at your farm today. Thank you for such a welcoming atmosphere and the obvious care you put into creating little adventures for kids. We are trying to fill the boys with as many special memories as we can.
The quiet peace of your property was especially pleasant (enjoyed with the best ice cream I’ve had in years) and we had such charming care from Sofia, and of course, the animals and bunny snuggles were a hit.
How lovely to find a place like this. We look forward to another visit.
Wonderful place for a family outing with young children. Strawberry picking was amazing, plentiful and delicious! Snap peas too. Our 3-year old loved the animals and the unique play area with sandbox, slide, tricycles, place houses, a maze and more. Lots of family friendly fun. Worth the price of admission, worth the drive. We’ll visit again.
Nice and cozy farmer’s market with very friendly staffs. My son really enjoy the time spend feeding the animal in the barn! Simple but yet very good time spend in this crazy world.
