Valley Ridge Family Farm.

Farm Tours / Animal Visit

Self-guided one-to-three-hour visit with a printed map, walking trail, and scavenger hunt. Visitors meet the resident horses, donkeys, goats, rabbits, ducks, and llama at their own pace across the property.

Horse Drawn Wagon Rides

A 40-minute covered wagon loop around the property perimeter pulled by the farm's Clydesdale team. Allow about an hour total to include meeting the horses before and after the ride.

Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides

Clydesdale-pulled sleigh ride across 128 acres of farm fields and trails. The outing finishes around a campfire with hot chocolate and time to meet the working team in the barn.

Summer Camp

Day camp running 8:30am to 3:30pm where kids collect eggs, feed animals, tend a garden, craft, and explore the property. Small groups get hands-on time with the animals and barn routines.

School Trips — Farm Experience

Four-hour visit including animal grooming, hands-on interaction, a nature walk, and a wagon ride. Built for classroom groups looking for a full day of working-farm exposure with the Clydesdale team.

$19.50 + HST per student

School Trips — Animal Encounter

Two-hour structured session focused on animal learning and direct interaction with the farm's horses, donkeys, goats, rabbits, ducks, and llama. Shorter format for younger classes or half-day field trips.

$13.50 + HST per student

Birthday Party

Three-hour party combining animal exploration, a one-hour grooming session, a wagon or sleigh ride, and a fireside snack gathering. If weather blocks the ride, the team substitutes a personalized horse experience.

Birthday Party — Intimate

Two-hour version focused on free exploration of the farm, beverages for the group, and a t-shirt for the birthday child. Lighter touch than the full party package for smaller or shorter gatherings.

$275 base + $5 per additional child

Off-Farm Carriage Services

Clydesdale-drawn carriage hire for weddings, proposals, birthday parties, reunions, and guest transportation at off-site venues. Routes are reviewed in advance for footing and traffic before bookings are confirmed.

One-hour minimum

Photo Sessions

Use of the farm as a photo location for up to three hours, with one-hour, extended-family, and professional-photographer options. Animal visits are not included by default and need to be arranged ahead of the session.

Seasonal Workshops

Limited-capacity workshops hosted on the farm with visiting artisans, including watercolour painting, afternoon tea with candle making, stained glass suncatchers, and pottery on the barn porch. Most include all supplies and a take-home piece.

$85–$205 depending on workshop
