The
Riverdale Farm is a perfect example of a turn of the century
Ontario farm. It is located in the heart of the city within
historic Cabbagetown. The farm allows anyone to envision
and experience life on a farm and gain appreciation for
a rural environment. Many school trips have been to the
farm because it offers perfect educational opportunities.
The stated purpose of the farm is:
"to contribute to the continued development of a Healthy City through
environmental, urban-agricultural, educational, developmental
and cultural programs and resources."
But we think it's just a great place to visit.
Riverdale Farm is easy to find. It is located in the Old Cabbagetown area of Toronto at 201 Winchester Street. Winchester St. runs east off Parliament St., one block north of Carlton St. There is no parking available on the farm grounds, but street parking and public transit are both close by.
