This fall, you can take the whole family to re-connect with farm life and the farmer who grows your food. Show your children where their food really comes from.
The Farm Fresh Experience is more than nostalgia and education. It's fun. There are wagon rides, corn mazes, farm animals, demonstrations, and nature walks, and lots more.
First and foremost, the Farm Fresh Experience is all about the freshest farm products with the most flavour, from apples to zucchini, direct from the farmer to you. You can enjoy apple, pumpkin, and berry pies baked fresh daily and find honey, maple syrup, jams, jellies, fine wines, and creative country crafts. The York Region Farm Freshbrochure provides a listing of pick-your-own farms, markets and gardens throughout the Region.
