Hidden Valley Farm in winter

Hidden Valley Farm

   90% certified organic food is used, mostly homegrown   children welcome   

A country retreat featuring healthful, natural living

Hidden Valley Farm is centrally located in Ontario's well-known Grey-Bruce region, close to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Grey-Bruce is a four-season recreation area which includes the world-famous Bruce Peninsula and Tobermory ferry to Manitoulin Island. Downhill skiing, water sports, sand beaches, and national and provincial parks are all within a scenic 45-minute drive. Closer to home you'll find riding stables, antique shops, farmers' markets, artisans' studios, good swimming and canoeing, a golf course, and more.

Hidden Valley Farm in summer

On our 120 certified organic acres, you may participate in farm activities and you may cross-country ski or walk through our hills and fields. Many visitors appreciate the peace and quiet they can find on one of our two sun decks surrounded by flower beds, or in our spacious sitting room with wood stove. Writers, painters, and photographers have stayed here, and have remarked upon Hidden Valley Farm's solitude and unique natural beauty. Kids enjoy the swings, sandbox, and rabbit hutch, and they love our friendly dog, Sasha. Sometimes we board a lamb or two over the summer for the enjoyment of our young visitors.

The country kitchen and dining room

Our guests enjoy home-made "from scratch" vegetarian whole foods cuisine, prepared by Erika, who has been a vegetarian since 1973 and is a vegetarian cooking school instructor. In season, many of our meals are made with fresh veggies, herbs and berries that come directly from our certified organic kitchen garden, and in general, most of the food we serve is certified organic whole food. Erika knows how to cook for vegans, celiacs, diabetics and others with special dietary needs.

A Sample Menu

Guests are given a choice from the following possibilities, all freshly made and 90 - 100% organic:

  • juice, herbal tea or coffee-substitute beverage
  • fruit (apples are always organic)
  • whole grain toast (Erika grinds her own organic flour - including spelt - and makes her own bread)
  • a variety of spreads, jams and nutbutters
  • seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.)
  • a baked cereal like Millet-Almond Delight or Banana-Apple Oatmeal Bake
  • waffles or granola or scrambled tofu or boiled eggs
  • wonderful mueslis reflecting Erika's European heritage

A comfortable single or twin bedded room

Your guest room will be simply furnished, yet clean and comfortable. Two of our guest rooms are furnished with double beds. There are lots of interesting books around the house, and we have an extensive collection of National Geographic magazines. Children are always welcome, and older ones may even spend a vacation with us on their own.

For our guests' convenience we offer free pick-up from the nearby GrayCoach bus stop, service in German if you like, and online reservation booking from our web site (link below). We accept Visa and American Express.

Tariffs

$30 - $65 for adults, depending on occupancy, number of meals, etc. Please follow the link below to our website for full details.


Whether you spend a week enjoying a healthful, stress-free Hidden Valley Farm vacation, or the night en route to further adventures in our beautiful region, we hope to see you soon!
