Enjoy the simplicity of quality, local goodies here on Farm in the Kawartha Lakes of Ontario.
Experience an old-fashioned private picnic. Breathe deeply. Relax. Savour fresh, rich flavours. Enjoy our pastoral setting surrounded by hills, pond and forest views.
On a road trip to discover Ontario? Touring the countryside? Bring a friend, your family or a small group out to the farm. Whatever the weather, settle inside the heritage barn or silo or wander the trails and spread your blanket with a grand view of the pond. The choice is yours.
