Heartwood has always welcomed friends to experience the joys of a regenerative farm life -- our overnight farmstay program offers an adult-focused retreat experience. When you arrive, we’ll give you a warm Heartwood welcome, invite you for a glass of cider on the woodland patio, and provide enough of a farm orientation to be able to create your own adventure. Cuddle the piglets, explore our woodland and pasture trails, hang out in the barn for some farmyard therapy, pick fruit while walking the forest garden labyrinth, and if you're curious about the life of a farmer, tag along with Val to do the chores and dig deeper into the wonder of regenerative agriculture. We have three separate sites for our canvas platform tents. Sunrise Suite and Orchard Oasis are nestled between our pastures and orchards, offering farm life immersion. Spruce Sanctuary offers more seclusion and privacy in one of our farm's woodland zones. All of our tents come fully furnished with a super-comfy queen-sized bed, bedside tables, and furnished patio.

We didn't end up going to the location after booking it for a night because of snow but Nancy was flexible enough to provide us refund. She from her own told us its ok if you don't come over even on the day of the booking. This shows that she has some values. We will try and go over to her location anytime soon. Nancy is a great host.

The back glen was absolutely perfect. I went in the end of September and the weather was perfect. Charles was very kind and accommodating as well! You can fish and swim in the water, as well as walk some trails along the fields. I set up a hammock by the convenient porta potty and it was perfect. The ground is very level as well for anyone with tents. I will definitely be coming back again!

Weekend Trip to Heartwood Farm & Cidery

We had a wonderful stay at the Heartwood Cidery. We chose the Spruce Sanctuary which was more secluded and had a private outdoor kitchen with everything you would need. Val was a welcoming host and provided a complimentary flight of ciders upon arrival, (and enjoyed some live entertainment too) Serene property, relaxing, a nice easy get away. Enjoyed meeting the farm animals too! Would recommend staying here :)

Great cozy place to crash. As close as it gets to a backcountry experience! The owners are wonderful people. They will go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. 45 min from mississauga, walking distance from the Bruce Trail, and 30 min from Kelso / Hilton Falls. Why would you want to stay somewhere else?!?

Camped in our small trailer with two dogs, great location feels far away from city- hosts are so welcoming and have well thought out space for campers. Great access to Bruce trail, starry nights, and all the sounds of the forest. Hosts went above and beyond helping us figure some things out with the camper. Enjoyed morning coffee, campfire and visiting with Kemp and Nancy.

The Love Shack was super cozy and the hosts, Marilyn and Jim, were extremely welcoming and friendly. The Love Shack had everything we could possibly need, pretty much all we needed to do was pack our clothes and food. Upon arrival, we met with Marilyn and her fuzzy little friend, Maggie (she’s such a playful cutie). Marilyn shared with us some vegetables from her beautiful garden and also had a fireplace put it in for our stay (which we were extremely grateful for) as the place was getting a bit chillier now. And Jim lit us a lovely fire to enjoy in the night so we can keep warm while enjoying the quiet under the stars. Overall, the entire stay from beginning to end was amazing and we would absolutely be going again!

Nancy's place is absolutely beautiful with their charming heritage stone house and a lovely garden. The campsite sits in a spacious yard with a small trail that winds around a pond. Our dogs had a fun time exploring there, and we enjoyed a relaxing time by the campfire. The Silver Creek trail is just a short walk from the site. We will come back to their place to see the autumn season! Highly recommended!

1 night at Mountain Farm

I was looking for an easy, low stakes single night of camping along with two solid days of hiking with my 10 year old daughter. This place was perfect, nice camp site (only 1 I'm pretty sure!) and you can drive on the lawn to the site, so you can pack "heavy". Best of all there is a trail right next to the camp site that takes you direct to the Bruce trail via Roberts Side Trail, in like 10 mins you're on the Bruce. Outstanding hikes, lots of loops, our fav was hiking up Silver Creek. Nancy and her partner (name slips me despite him being super nice/friendly) were both great, accomodating, and helpful yet gave us plenty of space. Def recommend!
