So as the name suggests, this is an Alpaca farm, mill, and shop that is open to visitors! They have 80 alpacas on site, 4 human-friendly guard dogs that are huge great pyrs that love pets, and 2 curious barn cats that wander around. You can use Google maps to navigate here but note that this address takes you to the farm house which is not open to the public. The entrance to the store and where tours start is actually at 13557 Little Lake Road which is walkable but I recommend driving here since there isn't really sidewalk to get there. There is parking available anywhere you can pull up. When we arrived, we headed up to the store to check in. The entrance to the barn is decorated with all the awards their alpacas have won over the years. We were also greeted by one of the dogs, Phil, who had just woken up from a snooze. It would turn out that all the dogs around loved getting pats which was awesome. When we got up to the shop we met Amy, the owner, who is very sweet and happy to answer any questions you have about the goings on at the farm. There are two main activities that you can do at the farm: the tour and the trek. The tours start at $10 for children aged 6-16 and is $20 for adults. The trek is $20 for everyone 11+. The combo of the tour and the trek goes for $35 and is cheaper at $25 for those aged 10-16. If you fall into the right age categories, I highly recommend doing the tour and the trek, especially if you have someone in your group that doesn't mind being the dedicated videographer of your trip. The tours take up to a maximum of 10 people at a time and run at 12pm and 2pm. If you're coming on a weekend with nice weather, I suggest calling ahead to reserve a spot. The tour is guided and takes you around the farm to the different alpaca enclosures and you get to interact with the alpacas that aren't too shy. Our guide, Liam, was able to answer any questions that we had about the animals and explained how the alpacas are taken care of and was able to tell us about the characteristics of different individuals. He also let us know that him and his assistants were available to take pictures for us as well. Now if you're like me and you want the full experience, the trek allows you to walk an alpaca during the tour! You actually walk it like a dog, on a leash. I don't know what it is about holding the leash but it feels like it directly connects you to the soul of the animal or something and it made me feel super special. You're also welcome to pet your alpaca. They give you instructions on how to properly walk and interact with your alpaca so both you and your new best friend are comfortable. A word on what to wear: dress for the weather. This is a real farm, not a petting zoo, so it can get messy. We were here on a day after it just rained so it was super muddy and on our tour we avoided one of the trails they normally take you down during the tour. Also a few of us showed up in running shoes and nicer footwear that we didn't want to get ruined and Amy was gracious enough to let us borrow the boots and shoes they had for use by the farm staff. I would definitely just wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty. Back at the shop they have different goods handmade from the Old Mill's own alpaca wool like warm weather accessories, felt animals, and even wool soaps for sale as well as some clothing items that from alpaca wool from Peru. They are also able to take custom orders that can be shipped or picked up at a later date. They accept cash, credit card, and e-transfer. If you have accessibility issues this might not be the best attraction since the store is up a set of stairs and the tour goes over terrain that is not paved.

The fields are well-kept, the staff are extremely friendly and I just generally enjoy being out at the farm to pick my own strawberries to turn into lovely homemade jam. They don't just have strawberries though; they've grown over the past few years and offer raspberry picking, peas, beans, pumpkins and apples, seasonally. The other thing worth mentioning is that they do a fantastic job of managing farm updates on Facebook and their website (www.fruition.ca). With wacky weather and the finicky nature of any harvest, things change pretty quickly. But, their timely updates will let you plan a great visit to the farm for whatever is in season.

Very kid friendly with lots of space for them to run around, play on the wooden tractor, play on the hay and of course take a real ride on the tractor that runs non stop. Whether your spending time picking your own or just out to grab fresh picked fruits and veggies everything is always so juicy and tasty. All season long they have things going on, berry picking, corn maze, pumpkin picking, and lots of other great food. The price is perfect $5.25 for a small basket or $10 for a large one. Don't have a basket to bring you can buy them for a $1 and re-use them over and over. Trust me once you experience Fruition you'll be back

It gets better every year here!…read more This year we enjoyed another great afternoon here while the weather continued this heat wave. Admission changed to $10 a person and the 10 or 20 lb bags with no premium prices. They added a new corn maze in a new spot, parking lots are centralised and a tractor will take you to the furthest hills for Gala & HoneyCrisp. The tractor runs often and there's lots of space to bring wagons and strollers. The farm obstacle run in next to a corn kernel play area, shielded by a converted silo. The kids had a blast in here! Digging with sand toys and lots of space to swim in the corn kernels. I'm sure all parents loved it wasn't dirty like sand but just corn dust. The cafe kiosk is next to the kids play area so one can enjoy hot cider($3), cider donuts or other pastries while the kids play. There lots of big old trees to give shade to take a break from this hot afternoon. Lots of portapotty around and wash sinks at the play area, parking lot and top of the picking hill. The corn maze is themed for Minecraft, so hay bales or wooden crates and painted and stacked for photo ops. Lots of pumpkins decorations and photo ops. There's a bouncy farm animal toy penned off for kids to bounce and ride on. Really creative idea and such fun watching them all looking like they're bucking broncos. More animals added onto the farm, llamas, sheep and these cute shaggy cattle. Tip: save your apple core or fallen apples from the picking orchard to feed the animals at the end, they really do appreciate it! It might be further for some but it's an easy, scenic afternoon drive. I love how it's busy but not crowded like the ones closer to Toronto.
