"This place is magical!" Since moving here in 2004, Val and Brent have worked with the natural diversity of this 42 acre farm to create an ecological haven. Heartwood has always welcomed friends to experience the joys of a regenerative farm life -- our overnight farmstay program offers an adult-focused retreat experience. When you arrive, we’ll give you a warm Heartwood welcome, invite you for a glass of cider on the woodland patio, and provide enough of a farm orientation to be able to create your own adventure. Cuddle the piglets, explore our woodland and pasture trails, hang out in the barn for some farmyard therapy, pick fruit while walking the forest garden labyrinth, and if you're curious about the life of a farmer, tag along with Val to do the chores and dig deeper into the wonder of regenerative agriculture. We have three separate sites for our canvas platform tents. Sunrise Suite and Orchard Oasis are nestled between our pastures and orchards, offering farm life immersion. Spruce Sanctuary offers more seclusion and privacy in one of our farm's woodland zones. All of our tents come fully furnished with a super-comfy queen-sized bed, bedside tables, and furnished patio. There is also a fire-pit, with firewood supplied at your site for your evening campfire and stargazing.

Orchard Oasis
Beautiful orchard oasis stay
What an amazing experience! I highly recommend it and would go back every year if I could. Val is such a passionate and knowledgeable farmer who is more than happy to share that knowledge if you're interested. Once we were oriented we could wander around most of the farm, climbing in with the pigs and sheep and walking with the chickens and cats. We were really free to do what we wanted, when we wanted. The outdoor kitchen was very clean with a full stock of appliances and cutlery, with a fridge so we were able to meal prep beforehand. The Cidery is open from 1-5pm on Saturday and we were able to taste some delicious ciders and non-alcoholic sparkling beverages. The tent was nestled between some trees and shrubs and felt quite private. It was spacious and warm once we got under the covers. The outhouse is also not too far and we're provided many solar powered lanterns to take around the farm when we need it. The only downside was there were many mosquitos, but with a bit of natural bug spray and lots of layers of clothes we were able to fend most of them away. I highly recommend this stay, it was so heartwarming and rejuvenating. We're lucky to have something so amazing close to the populated parts of Ontario.

Orchard Oasis
Such a special experience.
We had such a wonderful visit. We were made very welcomed. The tents were charming and the bed comfortable. We loved seeing all of the animals (especially the baby pigs). The hostess spent a lot of time answering all of our questions. We enjoyed exploring the property and picking berries. I can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful fall color farmstay
Perfect stay for the fall color season, as the sun was with us and brought the glittering lights. The spruce sanctuary was set up very comfortable and clean. We had a wonderful evening using he outdoor kitchen and also got the woodfire to glow. Very friendly people, they were glad to help us with our questions.

We had a great time camping at the Spruce Sanctuary! Very secluded and quiet. We loved the peaceful surroundings and being able to walk around interacting with the animals and taking in the beautiful fall colours. We also enjoyed sitting by our fire with yummy cider! It is a very welcoming place and we will definitely be recommending to friends!

The gentle sounds of the animals, and the care taken in every detail of our accomodations made this place unique. From the apple tree labyrinth to the solar twinkle lights, to the warm welcome, this was a stay infused with love.
