Tom & Tina-May
Lavender Hills Farm is located on twenty-five acres just outside of Orillia in central Ontario. In addition to the existing hardwood and softwood forests, we now have a tallgrass praire that we planted in 2007. Every year the praire rewards us with an ever increasing floral display that contributes as a valuable resource for all our bees and other pollenators in our home yard.
We have additional bee yards in Muskoka, Oro Medonte, Ramara and Severn townships and also pollenate the cranberries at Johnston's Cranberry Marsh in Bala.
As local producers, we harvest and sell our award-winning honeys and handcrafted cosmetics, candles and soaps that we make at select farmers' markets near us.
Quaker Oaks Farm
Farmer Aden
Quaker Oaks Farm is a family run business, and farm animal sanctuary, in the Kawartha Lakes region. Our name, is derived from a pacifist Quaker upbringing and the strength of the mighty oaks that have grown here on the farm forever, thus strength in pacifism. At Quaker Oaks Farm we choose to keep animals in trust that they are family. We are fortunate to have the ability to live a lifetime with those we can afford to shelter.
Our family was born and raised at Riverdale Farm in downtown Toronto. Judy and Mark met there, where a job became a passion and a passion became a dream, and a dream became reality, and reality became a business with compassion.
Welcome to Quaker Oaks Farm!
