Peddler's Passage Farm & Stay
4. Peddler's Passage Farm & Stay
2 sites · Lodging · Calvin, ON
Welcome to Peddler's Passage Farm & Stay!
We operate a small-scale market/permaculture farm set on a beautiful 400-acre property. We are located in Calvin Township, between North Bay and Mattawa, on the fringes of Algonquin Provincial Park. The growing farm currently covers 1.5 acres of our scenic property. We grow a wide variety of crops here—from fresh asparagus and greens in early spring to juicy raspberries in midsummer, ending the season with potatoes and onions to cook over the fire at your private campsite.
Our property boasts 100 acres of rolling pastures filled with stunning views and some of the best sunsets in Calvin, as well as another 300 acres of forest with kilometres of maintained trails. These trails feature old-growth trees, three large beaver ponds, wild blueberries, abundant fungi, and bench seating where you can take a break and observe the many species of wildlife that inhabit the area.
The trail system offers varying degrees of difficulty, from double-wide, smooth trails to a 3 km rugged hiking trail that loops around our large beaver pond complex. The trails can be enjoyed during the winter months as well, with many groomed and maintained for private, peaceful cross-country skiing.
Included in your stay are fresh-picked, in-season produce and farm-fresh eggs, all grown right here at Peddler's Passage. There are also endless opportunities within a short drive of the farm, including Eau Claire Gorge, Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, and fishing, swimming, and canoeing on many Northern Ontario lakes and rivers. The list goes on—come enjoy what this little township has to offer and experience true wilderness in this hidden diamond in the rough.
Hope to see you on the farm!

The cabin is very cozy. The fireplace kicks out enough heat without additional heaters and the bed is super comfy. We loved all the windows to the woods.
