Getting there:
Accessible by car. The nearest transit option is a 35 minute walk from Carling/Grandview Station.
Parking:
Free parking at the farm. For parking, please drive all the way down the lane way and park along the right side of the road, with half your wheels on the grass to make sure other cars can pass or see if there are open spots closer to the farm.
Once you've parked the pink arrows will guide you into the field. See diagram below.
Note - we recommend bringing a hat and wearing close-toed shoes. There is a bit of a walk out to the flowers on uneven ground and it is a working farm with some hazards. The pollinators are out so be aware there are lots of bees, and please leave your dogs at home!
We can't wait to see you there! 🩷
