Tips:

  • If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website or Facebook page. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
  • ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO - many farms have closed in the past year, and of course, we won't know until the season starts and we find they aren't open! Call to confirm their supply, their hours and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available. All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here !
    DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!
  • And please tell the farmer you visit in Central Ontario (Coburg, Peterborough, etc) that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.

There's skating, toboganning, hot chocolate from an iron kettle over an open fire, and much more. Or come in the Fall to visit Kara and Kirsten's pumpkin patch, where you can choose your very own organic pumpkin. We also sell organic beef, flour, and natural chicken from the farm gate. Horse-drawn sleighs have been a tradition at Merrylynd farms since the land was first settled in 1825. Today, winter excursions are available and highly personalized to suit your needs. We can accommodate small and large groups. You can book a moonlit cutter ride for up to four people, or book a group of almost any number. We offer outdoor campfires, ice-skating and broom-ball, tobogganing along with farm tours to better understand traditional food production in Ontario. Cutter rides usually last about an hour and sleigh rides with larger groups may last up to 3 hours. Just give us a call or send an email and we'll put you on our calendar. Times do fill up, so call as early as you can. Cancellations due to bad weather can be made early morning the day of the ride, without penalty (we cannot be held responsible for mother nature).
