Autumn Wonders of Ontario
Canadian farms invite guests!
Not far from London, Ontario is a real fall village, Clovermead Farm. It consists of old buildings that are decorated with pumpkins and offers more than 50 different attractions for the whole family.
Farm owners offer visitors: communication with animals, tractor rides, bike rides, trampolines, car racing, sculpture park, sunflower field, haunted maze, a large number of locations for photos and much more.
On Saturdays from Sept. 17, the village holds a pumpkin festival: everything around is decorated with seasonal decorations, people can buy items made of this orange vegetable and there are themed competitions, including cannon shooting with pumpkins.
The local cafe serves Canadian national food: poutine, sausages, and boiled corn straight from the field. For dessert, there's delicious ice cream — and of course, it's with pumpkin and maple syrup!
The highlight of the farm are the mazes: the corn maze, the cedar maze, and the "foggy" horror maze. In the corn field — in the middle of which there is a grand piano — you don't have to walk just for fun: you have to find five hidden bells.
Sweet lovers will also find something to do in the fall village: 24 million bees consistently provide the local store with honey, wax, and honey products.
Not only Clovermead can shof off by its maze: Applewood Farm is north of Port Perry and offers a corn maze of over 16 hectares! There is only one entrance and exit, so daredevils will encounter many dead ends along the 2 kilometer path, the main thing is not to flip out!.

For those not ready for that kind of extreme, there's a farm winery: Applewood Farm and Winery has been making fruit wines for years, and you can try a variety of alcoholic beverages, such as pumpkin moonshine and blueberry cider.
Unlike Clovermead, which closes on Halloween day, Applewood is open through Christmas, and you don't have to roam the 42 acres of farmland in the cold, but can sit around the fire with wine and baked goods. In addition, the vast fields grow a vast array of vegetables, fruits, and berries, so every visitor can pick a basket of rhubarb, strawberries, or apples.
I can't help but mention Downey Farm, which holds an annual pumpkin festival — and it's amazingly large! Less than an hour from Toronto, there's an inconspicuous lodge with — just think about it! — 10,000 pumpkins. Canadians love Sea of Orange, who come there not only to take pictures, but also to have fun with the numerous attractions offered by the owners of the farm. And if over 30 types of entertainment suddenly can't interest a fastidious guest, win-win options in the form of apple pies and the farm's real bestseller — puffy pumpkin donuts — will come in handy.
And for true pumpkin fans, there's another spot on the Ontario map: Autumn Harvest Farm. Located in the Kitchener area, it inspires an old-world aesthetic and gorgeous fall views. But the real exclusive is the fields filled with pumpkins of the most incredible colors: in addition to the traditional orange and yellow, there are blue, pink, black and green! There's also a local store offering baked goods and a variety of products with autumn colors: candles, soap, and even coffee with pumpkin.
The owners are creative and come up with a new theme each year, so the flow of visitors is steady each fall.
Each farm offers its own activities and attractions, and it's a great place to meet new people. In order to take advantage of this chance, you need English. If you are not confident in your abilities and want to communicate fluently, we recommend taking courses from ILAC Canada. You will be able to prepare for exams, study at university and learn the finer points of English grammar. Еnroll in school and start speaking like natives do!
