Northumberland County is the place to roam through farm fields.
Here are some great places to take in the good life in the country.
Haute Goat
Just northwest of Port Hope, Haute Goat offers lots of space to see and interact with farm animals.
Come to the farm to see the animals, walk the trails, enjoy a bite to eat, and shop for local goodies in Haute Goat’s farm shop. Cost to visit is pay what you can at the gate. To get up close and personal with the animals, check out their animal experiences like Goat Shmurgles or Alpaca Shuffles.
Because the experiences are more immersive, small children are not advised. Also dogs, though loved, cannot be permitted due to the roaming animals.

Primrose Donkey Sanctuary
Sheila Burns created this public sanctuary on her farm to rehabilitate abused donkeys. With almost 40 donkeys now, Sheila jokes that she is definitely not in charge.
PrimRose Donkey Sanctuary is the ideal spot to get close to these wonderful animals.
Volunteers are happily offering curbside visits and tours. Check the website for hours.
