Maple Hill Urban Farm welcomes individuals, families and school groups of all ages for a tour of the property. We can accommodate any size group and will tailor tours to suit the corresponding age level and interests. Our school tours are 1 to 2 hours long and all include introduction to our farm animals with egg picking and milking, a hay-wagon tractor ride and a field walk.

• September – October 2017 – Field Trips for schools

Maple Hill Urban Farm is located in Ottawa’s Greenbelt. Every year in the fall, we offer field trips for a wide range of young audiences. Field trips provide an opportunity for children to learn first hand about a working farm and to discuss important social as well as ecological aspects of food production and animal husbandry in our area.

Our field trips consist of a brief introduction to the farm, followed by education stations throughout the 167-acre property plus a corn maze adventure walk where the children explore their way through the many twists and turns of the 10-acre labyrinth. 10 check points that feature previously arranged questions need to be found. Contact us for topics of the education program and prices.
