This will be a beautiful warming adventure to really get you in the festive spirit.
The day starts with an easy 7.7km hike around the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine of Palgrave forest. Once we're done, we'll drive over to our friends at Heartwood Farm for a magical festive evening. Heartwood is a small independent farm that practices thoughtful, regenerative farming as well as running a boutique cidery.
We'll be welcomed with hot apple cider (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) before heading off on a farm tour. We'll learn about a more sustainable way of providing food and visit some of their animals where you'll meet some adorable piglets. We'll then gather round a warming fire to roast organic (vegan and meat) hot dogs and end with a candle lighting ceremony where we reflect on the year that's passed. Need last minute presents? There's a great farm store on site with plenty of excellent gift ideas like their ciders, artisanal maple syrup and more.
