Families can participate in the scavenger hunt, searching for hidden Christmas treasures scattered across the farm.

Holiday Wishing Tree

Families and guests can write wishes on cards, which are regularly collected and displayed on the Holiday Wishing Tree throughout the season.

Christmas Market

Stocking stuffers, locally made artisan products, festive gifts, and ornaments are just some of the items available for purchase at the market. Freshly cut Christmas trees to take home and decorate are also on offer.

Under the pavilion’s cover, friends and families can gather around glowing fire pits to sip on hot drinks and enjoy Christmas treats while listening to music from local artists such as The Peterson Duo, Mark Hildebrand, Ryan McAllister, Greg Neufeld, and others.
