The Farm

4 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · Brant, ON

It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford. O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes. By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door. It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much. Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing. A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’? ‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day. Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three. Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention. People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’. Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy. Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it. Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two. In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’! After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was…and as they say, the rest is future.

Our farming adventure began in the Spring of 2015 on a 15 acre farm. In 2020 we moved to a 75-acre farm just outside of Woodstock, Ontario.

We began a family quest to eat locally and sustainably. As our little farm grew we developed relationships with our greater community and Greener Pastures was born! As our farming adventure continues, we are loving that each day brings new opportunities for learning. We invite you to join us as we continue to seek greener pastures! While here, be sure to visit the On-Farm Shoppe for fresh eggs, meats, and other great local products.

The best camping near Long Point Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

The fourth-oldest park in Ontario, Long Point Provincial Park is set in a World Biosphere Reserve with a unique habitat that makes the 370-acre park one of the finest bird-watching destinations in North America. Fishers come for the bass, while those looking for rest and relaxation will appreciate the more than two kilometres of soft-sand beaches and warm waters, both part of a 40-kilometre-long sandspit that provides natural shelter.

Notable campgrounds

Best for peace and quiet: The radio-free Cottonwood Campground is a quiet choice.
Best for socializing: Firefly Campground has lots of open space.
Best for beach lovers: Turtle Dunes Campground has multiple sites with private paths leading directly to the beach.
Best for novice campers: Monarch’s Rest Campground offers private, shady camping spots.

Tips for snagging a campsite

All Ontario Provincial Parks accept reservations up to five months in advance of arrival.
If you want a specific campground, book early to avoid disappointment.
Reservations cannot be changed or canceled more than four months in advance. As such, if you miss out on a reservation when they open, wait patiently for the four-month mark to see if some cancellations roll in.
Campers can shorten their stay and receive a full refund provided they amend the reservation before noon on their day of departure. If you’re searching for a last-minute booking, check around noon to see if you can grab one of these freshly canceled spots.

When to go

This seasonal park is open from mid-May until mid-October. Like most Ontario provincial parks, Long Point has a complete liquor ban on Victoria Day (the second to last Monday of May) and for the 10 days preceding it. Long Point Provincial Park operates a Discovery Drop-in program for kids in July and August.

Know before you go

Long Point Provincial Park’s day-use area can be extremely busy on summer weekends. If you’re hoping to drop in to use the beach, arrive early.
Long Point offers excellent fishing, especially for bass. A license is required for recreational fishing in Ontario and can be purchased through a number of local businesses. Fishing rods are available for loan at Long Point Provincial Park through the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Tackleshare program.
More than 300 species of songbirds and waterfowl migrate through Long Point every spring and fall. Birdwatchers should visit the Long Point Bird Observatory just outside the park. They can advise on when and where you’re likely to see specific species.
