CELEBRATE THE COMING OF CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS TREES ARE HERE
Our Fraser Fir and Balsam Fir trees have now arrived along with a small number of pine. With the summer so wet the trees are lush and green and smell great. We have sizes ranging from table top (urn) size to over 10 feet tall.
If you wish to put up a live tree early the Frasers have the best needle retention. Ensuring you have a fresh cut on the trunk before putting the tree in its stand and checking twice daily to water it is usually enough to keep the tree fresh. We've had really good feedback from customers on our Frasers.

WE'RE NOW OPEN DAILY TILL DECEMBER 24TH
Our farm and market is now open daily 9 till 5. We will be open 9 till 6 beginning Thursday December 3rd and have a few late evenings till 7:30 weeknights during the next couple of weeks. Please call 905-887-1087 for the exact evenings open next week.

FRESH CHRISTMAS TURKEYS
We're taking orders now, it's never too early. These turkeys are delicious and raised humanely - grain fed with no animal byproducts or hormones in their feed.

INDULGE YOUR SWEET TOOTH
We're baking pies throughout December - place an order if you are having a special function, we'll bake them fresh the day you want them. Christmas Eve is a busy baking day for us so place an order to ensure you get the pies you want.
Rebecca has baked more of her Christmas cookies and party trays will be ready beginning Dec. 3rd. These are great for office parties, hostess gifts or just to have on hand for when company comes calling.

Our animals in the Barnyard Adventure area have gone to their winter home. The animals in the barn are still here for you to visit. Admission to our fun area is free till we close on Dec. 24th.
Wagon rides, the Enchanted Forest and Barnyard Adventure activities will resume when we reopen for the season the first weekend in May.

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 24TH

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a safe and fun Halloween. Thanks to all who visited the farm especially in spite of the weather.
November is a quieter time and it gives us a chance to catch our breath. We like to keep the fall look until late November but this year with all the grey weather in October you'll see some Christmas decorations earlier. The colours are so cheerful.

CHRISTMAS TREES
start arriving November 20th. We'll have mostly Fraser Fir trees this year as they have proven to be the most popular. They are the best tree to get early as they hold their needles well.

HONEYCRISP AND NORTHERN SPY APPLES
are in good supply in our market. Root crops keep well this time of year and are in abundance. Have you tried our Ontario sweet potatoes yet? They are amazing.

NOVEMBER 7TH AND 8TH WILL BE THE LAST WEEKEND OF THE SEASON FOR THE WAGON RIDES AND ENCHANTED FOREST
Weather predictions look good so far. Come on out and enjoy a nice walk in the woods. Our farm educator is also here to help you understand better where your food comes from.

CHRISTMAS TURKEYS
We are now taking orders for fresh, free range Christmas turkeys. Our Christmas baking and cookie trays will be available near the end of November.
