Located in the beautiful Northumberland County with views of Lake Ontario and the iconic rolling hills, Forager’s Farm is just 10 minutes north of either Port Hope or Cobourg, and only one hour east of Toronto. Our cabins are small but cozy, inviting you to a place of calming serenity. We have two that are nearby one another. There is an extra cabin for cooking, eating, and sharing meals with a lounging space for rainy days, a small library of books and some puzzles and games.
The space
Nestled beyond the wildflowers and trees of our fifty-acre farm, our land is on a dead end road which means you will enjoy a peaceful vibe in the countryside with the sounds of the nearby goats and chickens. Foragers Farms is a thriving community of kindred spirits interweaving our love for the land to produce beautiful fruits, eggs and veggies for the surrounding area. Visit during the week to experience the workings of the beauty of life on a farm, learn how organic farming works and meet the farmers who grow your food. Come stay the weekend where the hustle and bustle comes to a halt, and become immersed in nature with access to trails and open fields awaiting you! Take a look at our website for some upcoming events at our farm. The cabins are meant for those wanting to turn off their phones and delve deep into relaxation. We have books and games in our new Cucina Cabin Lounge, offering a spacious place to cook, eat, read, socialize or flop! Bring a book, walk, star gaze, sunbathe, meditate. Wifi is spotty at the cabins but can be accessed nearby our farm store.
Pets are welcome but keep in mind this is a farm and there are animals who also live here; goats, horses, chickens, dogs and cats! Please keep your pet on a leash when not supervised or going for walks around the farm.
This is a very unique experience if you're interested in visiting a diverse organic farm growing a large variety of local vegetables in season. We occasionally have opportunities to take part in events/workshops, volunteering and educational experiences. Connect with us for details.
