Create Some Farm Experiences This Summer

Whether you are looking to get your boots dirty or just looking for that perfect Instagram photo op, you will find a farm right for you in Simcoe County.

Simcoe County is home to many agricultural communities, in all corners of our large region. Here you will find opportunities to connect with food and farmers, to better understand where your food comes from. From on-farm glamping experiences, to u-pick berry farms, roadside stand sales, craft beverage producers and 18 farmers’ markets – there is no shortage of farm fun for everyone! Maple syrup is our first crop of the year, and in the summer months you will see large fields planted with corn, carrots and other produce. We are home to the Holland Marsh, which holds some of the most fertile soil in the country.
