Love this farm . Kids even didn’t want to leave after feeding goats for two hours ! Definitely will come back again and bring a book to spend the time while kids are having fun . Love their fresh organic eggs !!

Greatest country living place to visit while still being in the city. Wife and i had a blast bottle feeding the little goats. They loved it and we loved doing it. Checking out all the chickens was fun. I even tried the zip line. Make sure your facing towards the direction you're being pulled up before hopping on the little seat (you'll know what i mean when youre there). Love their littlebstore amd enjoy their honour system..

Love this farm!! Its been amazing to see the growth of this small-scale volunteer-run organization over the past few years. It provides so much to everyone it touches. Being in the grocery industry I think we have lost touch with where our food comes from, and this farm brings us back to what matters – community and good food. I feel really good about supporting Growing Hope Farm whether it’s by feeding and cuddling the goats, purchasing organic free range eggs, the yummy jams, OMG-to-die-for honey, and more. All proceeds collected go towards MCCC’s agricultural projects abroad, so not only am I supporting a local farm, but supporting those abroad as well. Growing Hope Farm also provides many volunteer opportunities to people living with a disability, those who have had correction services encounters, local children and more. Would highly recommend checking it out!! Try getting to know the goats and come back for the community :)

Good place to get organic chicken and goat meat, all their meet is halal. The farm is run by volunteers and it is clean and the animals well taken care of, they also donate to a good cause. The people were super friendly.

We started as a really cool experience but it turned bad quickly. Lots of goats and feeling opportunities to interact with the goats (feeding them milk). Unfortunately, they have 2 young mountain dogs guarding the farm we’re considered friendly and playful turned out the to attack my 11 yr old from both side resulting in being bit and receiving bruising and minor lacerations. Be very careful of the dogs. I left my number and a photo of the injury and the owner has yet to respond. We had left our number and a photo but the owner never responded.

I had so much fun feeding baby goats here! It was such a relaxing and peaceful experience. I think everyone needs to visit a local farm and be reminded about where our food actually comes from, and have respect for the people who work so hard to provide for the community. The location of this farm is so easily accessable, in Peston not too far from the main street. It just shows you that you don't always have to travel far out of the city to get the farm experience, sometimes it's as easy as looking in your own town, you'd be surprised at what you can find if you take the time to explore. But just a word of warning. If you are going to go feed the baby goats (and yes it is as cute as it sounds) you need to remember a few things. Wear clothes you don't care too much about, that you are going to get very dirty and that's ok, and please... don't forget to tie up your long hair. You just may feel a gentle tug from a curious young goat.

Nice place to visit animals

The best goat meat I have ever tasted in Canada.

Rafael Escobar

If you like feeding goats, you will love this place. The staff is really nice and their organic shop is worth a look if you don't mind the prices.

Andra Berariu

I wanted to love this place - I really did. We came here for goat yoga. We were put in a field full of weeds, the grass was not cut, in direct sunlight, with poop all over the grass where we were laying our Yoga mats. Honestly, I got over that pretty quick. However, what I did not realize initially is that the goats you do YOGA with, are also the goats IN THE FREEZER. I am sorry, but this is absolutely immoral and honestly creepy. Many of the goats were extremely sick, with snot running down their faces and coughing :( We left the farm feeling extremely guilty, and sad. Poor little babies...

helpful & friendly service! great place ♡

Carlos Molina

Nice fresh eggs and natural organic. The girl went and pick them for me from the coop. $6 for 12 not bad really. You pay what for you get all natural grown no chemicals. Cute place too.

Alex Richard

Super good experience. Hats off to all the effort. Good luck

Ather

Nour Tamim

Nice place for kids

Great place to visit within in the city of Cambridge. Can be accessible by public transit or car. You can bottle feed baby goats, brush them, pet them and even take them for little walks. The farm has dogs, chickens, turkeys, a pig, older goats and fruit/veggies to buy in season. You can collect your own fresh eggs for a price from the chicken coops. There's a small playground area for you get kids and a zip line. The proceeds of the ticket sales go to support MCC. Great place to go that isn't too far and your ticket price goes to a fantastic organization! *note, these are all male goats and will be used for meat in the future so don't go if that bothers you*

Now they are not allowing visitors…. They doesn’t have number to contact… we went last week and my kid were very disappointed.

Emylee Todd

What a wonderful place to spend the afternoon! The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and the goats were excited and happy to be fed and pet! There are many goats to see as well as chickens and bees. I will be definitely be coming back for more fun feeding the animals!

Judy Lee

I placed my first order this summer and am very happy with the prompt service and quality of meats received. I am looking forward to ordering from them again.

Great Goats and Great Products!

Jan Hux

Love this place. Accessible location, lots of ways to engage (yoga, feed goats, gather eggs, pick berries), cute goats and all in support of a great cause. The family that manage it (pro bono!) are knowledgeable and very informative. A well-run rural treasure right in the city!

Caroline E

Such a cute and local farm. Loved their emphasis on charity and supporting local.

Doc Hu

What could have been a nice excursion with our kids was marred by the fact that the goats appear to have Orf Virus, which causes bleeding sores on the goats and can be transmitted to people by petting and bottle feeding them! In people it causes painful sores that last up to 6 weeks. Obviously if we had known that, we would NEVER have let our toddler play with them! Hopefully our kid doesn’t get sick. After taking our money, the woman at the gate casually mentioned that the goats had some sores, but there was nothing that they could do about it for the goats. No mention of danger to people. What a racket. Go at your own risk. We won’t be back.

Chantal Kelly

I teach the Goat yoga here and was quite surprised to find out about this little gem in the city. Sarah and her family create a space of learning and bring a little nature to our town in a unique way. Their focus on the health and happiness of the animals and allowing people the freedom to learn and experience something that often we don't get a chance to is liberating. The fact that the farm is also non-profit just adds to the experience. Please come out and visit. Even if it's just to take pictures and buy a pot of honey.

I brought my nephews and we had such a wonderful time feeding the baby goats. Such a beautiful farm and we loved the zip line too! Thank you
