Things to do in Uxbridge, Canada: The Best Farms

Reviewed By 127ilhama - Toronto, Canada

We went on an unseasonably hot fall day at the end of September, so I’d really recommend to go earlier in the morning if you want to stay cool & comfy. Otherwise for an affordable $6/person+HST (kids 3 & under are free), you get to walk their sprawling grounds, pick grape tomatoes, walk through their sunflower trail & explore their maze of sunflowers (always a surprise how tall the sunflowers are & how gigantic their leaves! Also, nice to see the bees lazily drinking nectar from sunflowers), go to their barn & petting zoo containing goats, mini horse, chickens & hens, pigs and a massive playground area. And of course there is the pumpkin patch wherein you can also pick gourds and butternut squash (when available, you can ask to use one of their wagons to haul your load back to your car). And don’t forget to check out their expansive, well-decorates farmers market area where you can buy in-house and in-season fruits & veggies, Kawartha ice cream, different kind of pies, jams and pickles AND hormone-free, grass-fed meat. You can also order your Thanksgiving Turkey here too. This is a HIGHLY recommended activity for families especially for families with young kids. Please note that COVID-19 protocols are strictly followed, so there’s hand sanitizers everywhere & you are expected to wear masks within the market and barn area.
