76km from Huntsville · 2 sites · Lodging · Powassan, ONWelcome to Forest & Farm Wilderness Retreat, our 32-acre homestead tucked into the Near-North Ontario woods. Here, meadows are alive with pollinators, trails wind through a mixed forest, and the sound of our forest waterfall invites you to slow down and reconnect with the Land.
Our property offers a handful of unique rustic stays, each with its own charm. Whether you choose a cozy tent trailer set the bush, or one of our traditional tent sites, each spot comes with access to a fire pit, trails and the peace of the Forest.
This is a place well-suited for those who love a blend of small farm/homestead life and wilderness quiet. You might meet our sheep, ducks, chickens, or rabbits, or spot deer or wild turkeys in the Forest. The many gardens and greenhouses are always changing with the seasons, and we’re happy to provide tours of our farm to visitors during their stay.

Wander forest trails to the waterfall and other quiet sitting spots
Watch the dark night sky from your fire pit
