On the third Sunday of September, Open Farm Day sees dozens of Manitoba farms open their doors and invite interested people to visit, tour, and learn! http://openfarmday.ca/ has all the locations, events, and details you’ll need to make this day a success. Some farms will be open all day, and some just for the afternoon, so make sure to plan out your route before you go.

Want an idea of what you might get to experience at the farms?

Aurora Farm in St. Norbert is featuring a goat milking demonstration, scavenger hunt with prizes, animal petting, horse rides, music, bonfire, soap carving station, self-guided tours, and a farm store.

For something a little different, the Sagehill Centre is offering “Pony rides (with donation to cause); Horse facility tours; Manitoba made artisan-inspired co-op displays and art demonstrations; Aboriginal artist and artisan displays; Dog training and agility demonstrations.”
