Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

The Town of The Blue Mountains, the Municipality of Meaford and the six host locations are excited to welcome visitors for the Open Fields Farm Tour this Saturday, September 27, 2025.

This free, self-guided event is an opportunity to explore six unique local farms and businesses, each offering behind-the-scenes experiences that showcase the area’s agricultural background. Visitors can enjoy farm tours, demonstrations, live music, vendors, and more.

Open Fields is a free, rain-or-shine event that is open to all members of the public. Visitors are encouraged to wear proper footwear for a day on the farm and reminded that pets should be left at home for the tour.

Now in its third year, the Open Fields Farm Tour has educated visitors and entertained families at over a dozen locations. While previous hosts are not offering tours on the day of the event, many of the locations will be open for business on Saturday, including Kimber Valley Farms, which is hosting their annual Maker’s Market, Spy Cider House and Distillery, TK Ferri Orchards, The Farmer’s Pantry and Georgian Hills Vineyards.

Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
