We visited Downey's Farm over the weekend and had so much fun. A few points you want to consider before visiting: first, you are required to purchase the admission tickets online and second, early mornings are the best time to visit as it gets very busy 11am onwards and there would be parking issues and even lineups at the entrance. The farm has so many fun activities for kids and families, from bouncy pumpkin, zip line, wagon ride, feeding the animals, etc. There are food vendors available for cold refreshments, pop corn, cheeseburgers, poutine and chicken burgers/fingers. You can purchase lunch and refreshments 11am-4pm, but pip corn station is open all day long. You can also purchase farm products like honey, pies, apple ciders, picked apples from the market. You can also purchase pumpkin without requiring the admission ticket. read more

Downey's is always an absolute joy to visit every fall season. The apple pies are incredible with flakey crust and delicious apples grown on the farm. The pumpkin donuts are also delicious if you enjoy sweet fried desserts. I highly recommend pre ordering these on their website and picking up as line ups can get really busy on weekends, even at opening. Highly recommend picking the mcintosh and macoun apples super juicy and sweet! read more

Very fun day apple picking at Downy's! Definitely recommend getting there early to grab a good parking spot and get in and out before it becomes overcrowded. Plenty of apples to pick from when we went and it was a lovely day. Between 4 of us, we purchased a 20lb bag to collect our apples in. read more

Such a cute fall spot! The pumpkin donuts are honestly the best. They're hot, fresh, and made right in front of you. The farm is full of pumpkins and for around $25 you can go inside, see the animals, and check out the games. They also have a market with tons of pumpkins and fall treats. It gets very busy though and the farm is packed with people. I'd recommend going on a weekday to avoid the crowds and long lines. This place is good for the pictures though and it's very aesthetic and pretty. The pumpkin fest only runs for about a month, so it's worth going while it lasts. read more

Highly recommend visiting Downey's Farm Market in October! Great spot with lots of activities including cart racing, jumping pillows, wagon rides, feeding animals, shows, corn maze and more! They also have food trucks around and a store where you can buy goodies to take home (like these donuts pictured). They have super cute photo opp spots as well, and overall such a fun, wholesome, nice fall vibe. read more

Came on July 8 2023 and the farm was extremely busy and the strawberry fields very picked through. The berries are quite sweet but small and hard to find. You will need to squat and look very hard to find good berries. Took a long time to fill a small basket. Raspberries were plentiful however. Wish I could have checked out the rest of the farm's features like the petting zoo but doing all farm activities other than U-pick was an extra $14 charge per person. Wouldn't recommend people coming for strawberries anymore this season unless there are more fields they plan to open in better condition. read more

What is your favourite thing to do in fall? I love going for long drives and enjoying fall colours. However I also equally love going to this beautiful Downey's Farm. It is a picture perfect and dream place for photographers. The atmosphere here is always so welcoming and fantastic. This farm is great for an amazing family time and you can purchase amazing baked goodies, local produce and of course pumpkins. They also sell wine!! They are famous for their pumpkin donuts and those are a must try. Fall or any season of year, this is a must try place!! read more

Downey's farm is great, theres no admission charge. Went in for strawberry picking. Baskets are sold, 10$ per 20L. It's a great activity to brig the kids to eat while you pick. Strawberries were big, I recall my childhood experience at Andrew Scenic Farm yielded smaller sized strawberries. For COVID safety, there was a handwashing station by the store. But soap not stocked. There does not seem to be an attendant there making sure a sanitizing station is available. read more

We went during Thanksgiving and as cute as it was to see the pumpkin patch...it was way too crowded. We did line up for the pumpkin donut which was totally worth the 40min wait! We also got the chocolate butter tarts which taste like chocolate lava cakes . The staff members were patient even with all the screaming babies and toddlers...kudos to them. Worse part was all the strollers especially in the market considering it's already small. read more

Came here during COVID. Went strawberry picking for the first time on a Sunday. - they close pretty early, 330pm. make sure you get there before 2. We got there at 230 and barely had enough time to fill the 4L basket for 20$. They charge 10 per 2L basket (they have 2L, 4L, 6L), and you can fill them over the top, as long as you can carry it with 1 hand and the strawberries do not fall. Compared to other places I have researched they allow a bit more freedom, you can pick from anywhere so there is more selection, however it also means someone could have already picked that bush recently, so you might not find anything edible on it. (Make up your own mind if it is a good or a bad thing). Some of the strawberries on the trees were rotting, some were very fresh, some have not grown yet, come with realistic expectations that not every strawberry will be perfect, but you do not have to pick up the non-perfect ones. read more

Highly reccomend if you love animals and farm-like environment! I came here twice separately with my parents and boyfriend. The first visit was with my parents - we just wanted to take a picture with all the pumpkins outside their farm, it's instagram worthy! We spend maybe half or one hour here. We also got tools to make our small pumpkins! It was so cute! You can buy variety of pumpkins and they got a shop there as well you can go inside and check out what they have to offer. The second was with my boyfriend. This time we went inside because we saw the animals. My boyfriend suggested we should go and see them. I forgot how much was the ticket for the two of us, he bought little treats that we can feed for the animals. We saw goats, alpaca, donkey and more. There was a play set for the kids as well which was cute! Did i join and got on some playsets? Maybe (wink, i did haha). They even have corn field maze. It was such a wonderful experience! Our fave was the alpaca, when we came again, the alpaca recognized us haha! We named him brownie even though the alpaca doesn't have an actual name hehe! If you are looking for a cute adventure with friends, family or with significant other - try this place outtt!! read more

It's Fall season, and a good time to pick a nice plump pumpkin for Halloween. There's a handful of pumpkin markets around town but Downey's Farm has one of the most picturesque pumpkin picking patches in front of its farm. We heard this place was packed on weekends, so we opted to come on a weekday morning. But darn, there were so many school buses here on field trips and plenty of families here as well. In the farmyard, the family fun play area has activities geared towards young kids including a wooden tractor, truck, ship, slides, hamster wheel, tire mountain, haystacks, petting zoo, go-kart, and paintball (extra). I had a go with the hammer at the high striker but there wasn't much else for families that didn't bring along young kids. We visited on a day that was quite hot, so we opted to forgo the big corn maze (at least the sign had some humour). We also saw an empty wagon as there seemed to be no fruit picking on this day. We didn't stay long but took our share of family photos. The farmyard admission on weekdays was $10.50 per person compared to $15.50 on weekends (supply & demand), which can get costly for families that end up trying limited activities. The actual market shop included the farm's bakery and winery. That was worth a short visit, we actually found a wine lightheartedly named "Screaming Jackass"... read more

I love coming to Downeys in the Fall! There's something about seeing all the pumpkins lined up at the front of the barn and seeing everyone happily taking photos with them that instantly brings a smile on everyone's faces. I usually go during Thanksgiving weekend so it is even more crowded but that kind of adds to the fun and makes it feel even more festive. Upon walking into the barn, it's like a wonderland of food everywhere you look. At the counter upon walking in, you can also get hot drinks like cider. They have stacks on stacks of boxes of different kinds of tarts such as butter tarts, pecan, raisin to name a few and pies like apple, pumpkin, berry etc. Pie and tart prices are a bit higher than your average bakery in the suburbs but it is all really fresh and I don't mind splurging once in a while on freshly baked goods. They also replenish their supply of pumpkin donuts (so good!), different kinds of freshly baked bread and flatbreads throughout the day. They also have an assortment of jams on some shelves and frozen pies in freezers. Come early for more selection as it gets crazy busy during afternoons here. After paying for items, you'll notice upon walking out the back part of the barn that there is an outdoor play area for kids with some organized games, petting zoo and corn maze visits happening on weekends. Worth a visit at least once especially for families and highly recommend coming here in the Fall for a fun Downeys experience. read more

This place is a blast to go to!!! We went during Pumpkinfest. I spent 6 hours here with my three kids and never got bored. We probably would have stayed longer but it was closing time. I did go through the week so I'm not too sure how expensive it is here on the weekend. For myself and three kids I paid $40 to get in. I kind of wish I was a kid so I could have partaken in the activities. The Big Slide, Zip lining, bouncing balls and so much more! The petting zoo is darling! The animals are so friendly. They walk right up to you when they see you. I even saw an Alpaca and a full sized cow. The activities are spread out very well through out the place. My kids very much enjoyed the place! They didn't want to leave. The corn maze is quite interesting. The paths are narrow so you do struggle a bit with a stroller and let me tell you I didn't go too far in because we were really confused on how to get out. The front of the farm is definitely picture worthy with all the pumpkins in front. It's such a beautiful scene and you can definitely see that I got mine. I did check out the store but when I saw the pizza that looked frozen I was like hell no.. I was excited for the fry truck but unfortunately, it wasn't operating because I was there through the week. I wish their would have been some more food options but overall we had a ton of fun and we will be back!! Can't wait!!! read more

Possibly one of the top pumpkin patches to hit up in October! They have everything from a petting zoo to apple picking to a bounce pit! We couldn't go to everything but we really enjoyed the apple pies (crumble and classic) and how much the farm has to offer. We had a great time there. Would go again just to go on the bounce pit lol. read more

This is a great place for fresh fruits and vegetables. Lots of different items in their shop from fudge, pies, donuts & jams. They also have their own wine they produce that is delicious. I have tried a few and they are all amazing. The caramel apple pie is by far my absolute favourite thing from here. It's not to far from my house I have driven here solely for this pie. The pastry is so buttery and flaky. The apples are perfectly cooked still a bit crisp and the caramel sauce is just perfection. I'm not a huge fan of any pie but this is just so good it's hard not to love. read more

Came here today with some friends to go Apple Picking! It was so much fun. You take a tractor ride (or you can walk) to get to the Apple trees. Each aisle is labelled clearly with the different Apple types. We were a bit early before the season flourishes but they had tons of gala and macintosh apples. It's minimum $5 a person for a bad and max $29 for a full bag. No fee for entry or the bag itself! The staff were really friendly and helpful explaining all of this. They also sell Apple cider (3L for $8), corn, squash, gourds, and other fall-like necessities. They also have a really cute area for families (that you need to pay for so I don't know what was going on there), and a shop with prepared foods. I bought some strawberry rhubarb jam ($6.99) and can't wait to try it! A fun morning activity for the whole family to enjoy read more

I was visiting from the US with the family and decided stop by this place so my daughter could play. I must say that it was amazing to us. The school kids had just left, so we pretty much had the entire place to ourselves. I noticed people bash the place in the reviews, but I must say that everyone was extremely friendly! I also notice previous yelpers saying that the doughnuts are the best, but please!!! please!! please!!! Don't sleep on those maple chocolate chip cookies! OMG! One bite made me break my 5 month sugar fast as I devoured 6!! all in all it was a good experience for my 2 yo, as she played on slide and we rode the cart around the track. If you're in the area, I suggest you check it out. I'm an easy going guy, so I liked it. read more

I came here on a Sunday with my bf for pumpkin fest and this place was PACKED. There were cars parked in the parking lots and along the side of the road. It took us 15mins to find parking. At the front of the farm there were pumpkins all laid out and available for purchasing. It was a nice place to take pictures but due to the high volume of people, getting a picture with the pumpkins alone would be impossible. The line to get into pumpkin fest was really long. It was 30mins wait and that day was windy so dust and dirt were blowing all around us. Once inside there were various activities and entertainment happening: petting zoo, goats walking on planks above our heads, face painting, and of course the corn maze. This place was definitely kid friendly and geared more towards family but my bf and I had fun regardless. One thing I wanted to try but didn't get a chance to was the fresh donuts. The line was too long and my bf didn't want to wait so we left. It's okay, this will be an excuse for me to come back :) read more

Had a great time. The perfect fall aesthetic. Went on a Saturday, parking was full but there is additional parking around the farm. It's pretty muddy there, so it's recommend you wear stuff you don't mind getting muddy. There's a wide variety of pumpkins to choose from. Big, small, tiny, white and of course orange. They have a cute shop with all kinds of treats and goodies. The fresh donuts are a must try!! They are so good. There's also a wine store, all the wine is made at Downey's. I think you can Apple pick too but it's out of season right now. They also have a hot dog and French fries food truck. We didn't pay the $14 admission fee because we didn't want to do all the games and activities. It's mostly for kids and parents. We really only went for pumpkins anyways. Overall, it's a great place to go if you're looking for something to do in the fall and pick pumpkins. read more

When it comes to farms who know how to tailor to different age groups Downey's farm should be right up there with the others across the GTA. Anyone growing up in Caledon or Brampton has hopefully heard of the farm, they've been around ever since I myself was a child and it's nice to see them flourishing to this day still. After so many years I decided to finally pay a visit last weekend to check out the PumpkinFest and see what the place looked like after all these years. I can say that the farm definitely caters more to children and families as a whole, so a heads up on that! Also, admission to get into the area where the actual PumpkinFest is cost $14 dollars for adults, kind of steep imo, but was worth it once we got to check out the goats and sheep and feed them. Tip: get dried corn from the corn maze area to use as feed for the sheeps/goats - they'll love it and it won't cost you anything! The other part of Downey's farm that's worth checking out besides the PumpkinFest area is the bakery/winery area at the front. The food quality is top notch and worth the trip alone just for that. Others have mentioned sampling their doughnuts - I definitely second that as well. Overall Downey's farm has a bit of everything for everyone right now, it definitely has a lot more for kids, but adults can find fun here to as long as they remember to stay young at heart haha. read more

Great place to take the kids while you get your farm produce on. On a weekend the place is buzzing, but there's plenty of parking and having all the kids running around makes the place feel lively. Downey's is a multi-building complex on an active farm. There is honey from local bees, a decent bakery, a small selection of local cheeses, plenty of preserves and fresh produce. There's also a fruit winery on site - no grape wine, but plenty of elderberry, apple, peach, &c. Mostly I've found the wines there oversweet, but I'll chalk it up to individual preference. Won't hurt you to taste a few, anyhow. Outdoors, there are booths set up for fries and hotdogs, an actively-maintained corn maze, and usually some kind of seasonal display. In October, perhaps predictably, this is centered around hallowe'en, and the front yard is given over to a reasonably massive haul-your-own pumpkin patch. The variety and selection won't match a full many-participant farmer's market, but Downey's is reliable, fresh, and reasonably priced. And the kids seem to dig it. Pro-tip: work the preserves shelves; it ain't all pickles. Peppercorn mustard, apple butter, beet salsa. There's fun to be had, here. read more

Farm is okay bit of expensive for a bag of apples. Farm is is not that big that they need a tractor driven cart to shuttle people. You get more apples for that price in costco. read more

Lots to do, pricey as it may be...it still makes for such a fun thing to do in the Fall with the family.

They don't produce anything that's currently in-season, so my visit was a bit disappointing. Keep in mind that this was mid-afternoon, during the week, so it really wasn't that happenin'. Sign said that it was asparagus season, but I asked, and the asparagus isn't farmed there. I also asked about the eggs, also brought in. Girl who was runnin' the general store also had to do the wine counter. She was alright, but not super friendly/chatty. Just accommodating. She let us sample some wines, we purchased a coupla bottles. (Not me personally, but my friend did. Fruit/ice wines were a bit too sharp/acidic for my liking.) Girl said that the next thing that's gonna be produced are berries, so later on in the Summertime. So maybe that'll be worth the drive at that time! read more

This year is the second year we went as a family to go apple picking. We went both times after our thanksgiving celebration. For both years the farm ran out of gala apple which are the family favourite. But this year we asked and they mentioned it's because those fields open earlier then the rest of the orchids. To much surprise we found what we call ambrosia apples which are similar to gala, just smaller in size as the rest of the apples left were baking apples and we all wanted eatting apples. My finances sister bought the apple cider with strawberry that we all tried when we got home. It was very delicious, not to sweet it was just right. There was plenty of parking but we also always go so early in the morning. If you have young children, they will have a blast here, there is plenty if things for them to do, from pony rides to mazes to pumpkin picking. What a great way to spend time with the family :) ... see you again next year Downey read more

The bae and I visit here when we want to take a little country drive :) Downey's has a great little market with fresh produce, baked goods, meats, cheeses, and their own line of various jams, jellies, wines, and pickled items. They even have a "fun farm" area for the little ones (think bouncy castles, stick your head in photo boards, mazes, etc). Not sure how much it costs but I assume its pretty reasonable? A good place to visit for families and also foodies! TIP : make sure you try one of their delicious freshly made doughnuts, the pumpkin one is my all time fave!! read more

We met Horrible ignorant owners to this place. Our group planned this outing way ahead of time we have been here multiple times with no problem. The owner stopped us from entering saying she cannot let us in. ONE because it costs 8$ minimum per person-our solution, we have more than enough to pay for our families. TWO because they dont allow back packs-our solution ok we will leave them on the vehicle. THREE they dont have enough strawberries for us. we had a few families max 20 ppl. even counting our babies in arms. Then she proceeded to say to come back near the end of the day. BTW we are an Indigenous group and it in our culture to pick berries and there are teachings that go along with the whole experience. When we left a few hours later after playing at the other farm across the street the Downeys Strawberry and apple farm's whole parking lot was full as we drove by. IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT IGNORANCE GO TO DOWNEYS STRAWBERRY AND APPLE FARM WHERE THE SIGN SAYS PICK STRAWBERRIES HERE! ZERO STARS read more

Last month me and my boyfriend decided to go strawberry picking at Downey's farm. We didn't get charged the admission fee of $3 per person prob because it was the last day to pick the strawberries and there wasn't many left. I would recommend everyone to go earlier to get the bigger strawberries. We were only able to pick small ones because everything else was already picked. Other than that we had a great time and the strawberries were delicious and fresh. The strawberries were $2.60/lb and $1 for the basket. read more

My two year old daughter and I went for the Easterfest. There's plenty of things to do like face painting, magic show, puppet show, wagon ride and Easter egg scramble.

The other staff were great and very friendly and helpful. read more

Yelp said we could go here on Family Day. Went it was closed. Says more about Yelp than Downeys.. they're good people.

Went there today and it was a pretty good place. Lots of activities for the kids and can even get close to the animals. IMO, I find some of these places a bit pricey but sometimes there's not much you can do. As long as the kids have fun and burn some energy its all good, and they had lots of fun. Being on a holiday its more expensive than usual and there were LOTS of people. Cars were parked wayy down the street. But, once you get inside, it does not feel too bad. The lineups for the activities were not very long, eight the exception of the big bouncy thing. But looked like they tried not to have too many on at once for safety reasons. There were corn maze, paint ball, small fun haunted house, big slide, and my oldest loves playing in the hay. Kids had a blast and there were few they didn't even get to go on. All the adults were drained by the end. Definitely going back on a less busy and non-holiday day. read more
