Springridge Farm - a Canadian Experience
Give your visiting friends and family a Canadian experience
Are you welcoming family and friends from abroad this summer? When visitors come to Canada looking for an authentic Canadian experience, be sure to add Springridge Farm to your “to do” list.
Agriculture is such an important part of the Canadian landscape and economy. We are proud to be a working farm, as well as, a destination for families to have fun and learn more about our farm and the lands around us. The Hughes family has been fruit farming for six generations (over 100 years) and moved to Springridge Farm in 1960. To learn more about Springridge and the Hughes family, visit our farm history page.
 Here are 5 quintessentially Canadian things to see and do at the farm.
Visit our fun farm and take the tractor wagon ride – learn about the crops we grow, the farm and the escarpment lands that surround us.
Honey bees are an important part of our farm. Bees assist us by providing pollination for our crops. We also work with a beekeeper to produce and sell honey from 1 million bees that live in hives beside our pond. Stop into the barn market and bring some Springridge honey home with you.
What could be more Canadian that our most popular jam ever... CANADA 150 JAM! Last year in celebration of Canada 150, we created a special jam featuring coast-to-coast ingredients that include strawberries from Springridge Farm, raspberries from the west coast, wild blueberries from the east coast and a splash of Canadian sparkling wine. Stop by and get some before it is gone.
Known around the world as a uniquely Canadian dessert, butter tarts are a staple in our scratch bakery! While the debate over raisins vs. no raisins rages on we have to say we are “team raisin”
In Canada we are lucky to have the climate and soil to grow a wide variety of crops. In Milton, where we are located, this is considered to be part of the Greenbelt. At Springridge, we grow several crops but we also carry fruits and vegetables from other local Ontario farms to sell in our farm market ensuring you can have a “taste” of Ontario throughout the growing season.
We are open daily from 9am-5pm, see you soon!

Summer Fun on the Farm!
Summer fun on the farm!
The final school bell has rung and it’s finally summer vacation! Kids everywhere anticipate the next two months of freedom while parents think about ways to keep them busy.
When the kids scream “I’m bored!” pack them up and head for Springridge Farm. Spend a day in the sun playing in the fun farm yard. Kids will love jumping, climbing and sliding on the Spiderweb Climber, Straw Play and Tube Slides before making the trek up to the Escarpment Lookout. Spend some time visiting with our farm animals and see if you can spot the goats climbing up “goat mountain” before heading over to the Singing Chicken Show to learn a few new jokes.
When you need to re-fuel, our café offers a menu of delicious sandwiches and kids (and parents) will appreciate the sand pail lunch that comes with a sandwich, carrot sticks, drink and cookie. Once lunch is done bring your new sand pail and shovel back to the fun farm and spend some time in the giant sandbox.
Be sure to leave time for the Fun Farm Yard tractor drawn wagon ride. Enjoy the scenic escarpment views and learn more about our crops, the farm and the land around us.
If you plan on visiting often consider converting your daily admission* into a season pass. It’s a great value and you receive free admission to the first weekend of Harvest Festival September 22 or September 23.
Before you head off, head to the barn market to pick up local seasonal produce and maybe a tart (or two) for the ride home.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm!
*daily admission can be used toward the purchase of a season pass on the day of purchase only.
