Fall on The Farm...The Best is Yet to Come!
Summer is transitioning into Fall, the kids are going back to school, but the Farm is getting ready for one of the most exciting times of year!
The colours of the leaves make the view on the Farm a Landscape of Beauty - perfect for a tour, and we are expecting more baby Calves to be born.
Our Loft Restaurant is open more days for Lunch! You can even drop in to have a Wine and Cheese Picnic. We continue to have our fun-filled Friday Nights, with our Farmers Market and Dinner on the Deck!
The cool, refreshing Fall weather creates a perfect ambience for all of our activites on the farm. We hope you will join us in our celebration of Fall on the Farm!

Charlie has a Girlfriend!
You'll be glad to know that Baby Charlie is doing well! Over the weekend he seems to have grown a tremendous amount - both physically and in personality! We think it must be the influence of the "New Girl in Town" - Isabelle!
Isabelle was born on Saturday evening. She's a very pretty Swiss Brown Cow, with a beautiful white crown and long black eyelashes! She seems to have settled into the farm very well, and Charlie loves having a playmate with him! Just this morning we found Isabelle licking Charlie while he slept - a true "Kodak Moment!"
Come and visit Isabelle and Charlie any day at the farm, they will be waiting for you in The Red Barn!
The Green Market!
The bounty created by our vendors just keeps growing here at the Green Market at Traders Point Creamery! Make it a great evening out with a tour of the farm (see the new baby cows!), a delightful dinner and a local food shopping bonanza with all your favorite items to stock up on. The tomatoes are in high season (Seldom Seen Farm and LIFE Farm): dress them up with some fresh goat cheese (Capriole), basil (Full Circle Farm and Seldom Seen Farm) and a bit of hot pepper oil (Redwine Farm) and you have a lovely summer dish. Like that idea? Ask our growers for other ideas of what you can do with their fresh, local products. It’s all just too good to miss! We’ll see you on Friday!
