The Farm Shed @ Walnut Ridge Farm

Established in 1870 as a mixed farm for new immigrants to Canada to settle and begin their new life in Canada. In the early days the farm housed dairy cattle and pigs.  Had pastures for cattle to graze and grew corn and wheat for cattle feed.  In the 1980's the farm was rented by the University of Guelph to house their goat research livestock. 

Our family purchased the farm in 1998 to raise our daughters.  The farm is located beside Trish's home farm, where she was a dairy farmers daughter growing up.  Dean was raised on a beef farm.  Dean & Trish meet in University studying agriculture.

We began a beef business, and marketed our farm products through our website, www.whisperingmeadows.ca until we sold it to a young couple in 2016. 

Dean & I care about the land and the environment very much.  Over the years we have have worked with the local conservation organization to plant treed wind erosion areas, improve farm drainage and grow crops using no-till practices.

In 2010 we were awarded the Pasture Conservation Award by the Canadian Cattlemen Association.

We take great pride in our farm and ensure it is managed using the best farm practices available.  We grow a roation of corn, soybeans and winter wheat for food production.

Ideal for a quiet getaway or short-term stay. High-speed fiber wi-fi is included allowing you to work away from the office.

Tiny House in the Big Woods

Learn more about this land:

Follow the dancing squirrels and singing birds to find this Tiny House in the Big Woods... a land where crickets sing as the sun goes down and chipmunks dance in the light of the moon. Where the summer night wind whispers gently through the trees and the stars glisten in the scented night skies. Next to the Tiny house is a meadow brimming with life; sweet apple blossoms, wild flowers, and honey bees to delight the senses.

Quietly nestled  near a spring fed pond brimming with fish, turtles, and frogs; this Tiny House is a welcome  retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. With close proximity to Toronto, this is off-grid unplugged-relaxation at it's finest. The space is functional, very rustic, and a bit of a work in progress. There is a wood stove to keep the space somewhat warm in the cooler months, a 2 burner propane cook top stove and kitchen essentials.  There's a BBQ and grill over the Fire Pit for your cooking needs.  It is a 5-7 minute walk from the parking spot to get to the cabin.
