Agritourism In Ontario Canada

Recently, I was in Ontario, Canada conducting ten farm mentorship consultations for the Ontario Farm Fresh Marketing Association. I am pleased to report that they have a great variety of agritourism operators from farms just beginning in agritourism to some that are very sophisticated in their offerings.

For instance, I visited Clovermead Bees & Honey where I had my first “honey tasting” experience.  At the Yee Haw Adventure Farm I was treated to the “duck races” and a face-to-face hillbilly adventure. Ernie Muzylowsky, at Apple Land Station showed me his farm train that he uses to haul people to the apple orchard. Anne & Hugh Nauman not only take their products to the local farmer’s market but they also have an on-farm market and were completing a new rope maze to be ready for this fall season. I even flew to the Thunder Bay area of Ontario to visit Sue & Gerry Gammon of Gammondale Farm.

If you would like to visit some of these farms with me you can by taking a look at the two videos that I produced after this trip. You can view the first You Tube Video here or go to the second You Tube Video.

The agritourism industry in Ontario is a well organized group.  Thank you Cathy Barolic, Director – Ontario Farm Fresh for inviting me.
