Winter fun for everyone.

Family Day is almost upon us; the kids will be home and you may be lucky enough to have the day off as well. Need some ideas to keep the kids, and yourself, occupied and entertained in the middle of February?

Winter fun isn’t just skiing and skating, it’s also the best time to taste the most local sweet

A new year brings new plans and new goals.  While all that determination is fantastic, it can also add to the pressure. For that reason, we’re suggesting that you aim for relaxation this year. Trust us - we think you deserve it! Take a relaxing back road drive to Oxford County and explore all the ways you can completely unwind. 

Think of your favourite Canadian winters. Calm snowflakes falling to the ground, crisp cold air, skating with hot coco in your mittens and best of all – maple syrup. Richardson’s Family Farm understands the importance of celebrating this honoured local tradition and has used it to share a perfectly crafted experience, from their family to yours.

Winter - often seen as the time of year where you grab your favourite hot cocoa and watch movies, is actually the perfect opportunity to get out there and experience new thrilling adventures. So grab your coat, hit the road, and get ready for a winter better than the rest.
