Welcome to Goats and Gardens, our small working hobbyfarm where goats graze in the pasture, chickens wander through the grass, gardens grow with the seasons, and there's always something going on. Stay your way — camp inside our one-acre animal pasture or choose our private farmstay suite for four walls and a comfortable bed. Your stay is group-exclusive. We host only one booking group at a time. Book the campsite or suite and the other won't be rented to another party. Groups are welcome to book both. We think some of the best moments happen when there's simply room for them to happen. A new discovery. Hunting for frogs by the pond. Watching the goats wander past. A conversation by the campfire. Or just spending time together somewhere a little different. We make space for you to make memories ... The pasture campsite includes access to a hot outdoor shower, clean composting toilet and complimentary firewood. The farmstay suite offers space to sleep, relax and prepare simple meals, plus a private indoor washroom and access to the same outdoor shower. However you stay, the off-grid cabin in the pasture is available to enjoy — escape the bugs, spend a rainy afternoon or simply watch the animals wander by. This is a real hobbyfarm, not a resort. The animals, gardens and seasons set their own rhythm, so no two visits are quite the same. Explore, ask questions, spend time with the animals or simply enjoy the farm your own way. Goats and Gardens especially suits families introducing children to farm life and camping, couples looking for something different, and people who enjoy slowing down. Some guests come for their first adventure. Others return to see what's growing, what's changed and what the animals are up to this time. Come make our little corner of the countryside your own for a while.

The camp site is located within a 1 acre farmyard which is completely fenced in. The farmyard is home to Nubian goats, many chickens and a very large vegetable garden. The site includes a metal fire pit ring and access to a well fed water hose. The compost style outhouse is located a short distance away, behind the cabin on the hill. The outdoor shower is located just outside the enclosure (near the main house). This is a working homestead and the hosts will be visible tending to the animals and gardens during the day. Please expect noise during your stay as we do have farm animals, local traffic, construction, neighbours, freight trains and steam traction engine whistles.

Goats and Gardens - Farmstay Suite

I absolutely loved my stay at Goats and Gardens. Greg and Barb were both incredibly welcoming, responsive and accommodating, and made me feel right at home. My little room was cozy and quaint, with a mini fridge and microwave, and I especially loved having my own private deck overlooking the pasture. Finding fresh cherry tomatoes waiting for me in my room when I arrived was such a lovely touch. There are so many wonderful little spaces around the property. The cabin is incredibly cozy and a great place to curl up with a book or just hang out. There’s a bench by the pond, an outdoor shower, and a lovely little outdoor kitchen where you can prepare your meals. The farm itself was a big part of what made my stay so special. Greg showed me around the farm, gardens and animals. I got to hold a chick and pet the goats, and I loved the little updates about what was happening around the farm, including the chicks being born. I’ll have to go back just to learn more about their water system, which looked fascinating! Greg was very thoughtful about letting me know beforehand that this isn’t a secluded retreat—it’s a working property and a place where people live their everyday lives. You may hear family and friends, people working or doing chores, animals, neighbours, cars and trains. I really appreciated knowing that beforehand. What I discovered, though, is that it doesn’t have to be one or the other. The sounds of everyday life and the peacefulness of the country can coexist. In fact, the sounds of family, friends and people working around the property made me smile—happy sounds of people being together and simply living their lives. I could hear life happening around me and still sit on my private deck overlooking the pasture and feel peaceful, safe and grounded. For me, that was part of what made Goats and Gardens so special. It really was the best of both worlds—connected to the life happening around me while still surrounded by the beauty, warmth and grounding experience of the country. I happened to arrive during a particularly difficult time in my life, and this little corner of the world turned out to be a very special place to be. It’s a wonderful place to take a break from life for a little while, and I will definitely be back. I’m already planning to talk to my grandchildren about coming back to camp here together next year. Thank you, Greg and Barb, for creating such a special place and for making me feel so welcome.
