Overview
Take a break from the city and head to a farm famous for its sheep!
We offer a guided tour of our farm on Saturdays with a brunch menu.
You will meet and greet some of our happy sheep on the pasture fields (we have over 400 sheep).
Also, we have 100 hens, a few guinea hens, and Llama named Lawrence!!
Our lush pastures are for haylage in the summer and grazing habitats for our sheep and lambs.
The smell of freshly mowed hay fills the midsummer nights. The first cut comes in early summer and is always the best.
All will create significant new memories of lovely, warm, inviting, relaxing feelings.

What’s nearby
The tallest waterfall in our area falls from the edge of the Niagara Escarpment 30 meters to the bottom of the cuckoo valley. This was discovered in 1852 when Eugenia Falls was the scene of the “Fools Gold” rush.
Later it became the location of five mills and a small private electric plant and by 1905, was the chosen site of the second hydroelectric plant in Ontario. In 1915, Ontario Hydro moved the plant to the north and created Lake Eugenia, allowing more control over the water levels.
The waterfall was called Eugenia following a suggestion from some ex-soldiers of the French Army (Crimean War) working with Charles Rankin surveying the former Artemesia Township. They suggested that the waterfall be named after Princess Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III. To explore more nearby activities visit Grey Highlands Municipality website.
Some historical data about our County
The first settlers of the Grey Highlands are from 1840. Grey Highlands were not always as described above. The various Ice Ages came and went, the last ending perhaps as recently as about 12.000 years ago. The resulting tree-less, tundra-like barren lands, subject to the fierce weathering storms, evidently had no attraction for the earliest Paleo-Indian hunters. Some artifacts from 10.000 years ago found in Flesherton are now located in the Royal Ontario Museum collection.
