Farm vacation Twenty-eight farmers and their families are making vacationer's dreams come true. They are offering an alternative holiday exper- ience - a farm vacation. As members of the Ontario Vacation Farm Association, these farms provide one- and two-week vacation packages for adults, children,and fam- ilies. "Most of the vacation farms are working farms," says Sharon van Son, of the agricultural manpower branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "Guests are welcome to help with the farm chores, but a farm vacation isn't a work- ing holiday." family bw Trust 01; Annual Interest 0%% Semi-Annually TRUST COMPANY 04 Annual Interest 10% Semi-Annually \ STANDARD VICTORIA the municipal | AY AND GREY 5 YEAR 1 5 YEAR Annual Interest 10Y4 10% Semi-Annually 0Y, Annual Interest 10% Semi-Annually "Farm vacations were set up to give people the oppor- tunity to experience life on the farm, and enjoy the fresh country air. You can do as little, or as much, as you like: Vacation farms are locat- ed throughout the province from the Sault Ste. Marie area to London. Vacation farms range from large beef and dairy operations to cash crop and mixed farms. "Most of the farms offer accommodation in the farm house, but some have separ- ate facilities for guests," says Miss van Son. "Many offer family-style living, others provide the luxury of resorts." All of the vacation farms feature three home-cooked meals each day, and many serve fruits, vegetables, and meat produced on the farm. Rates range from $105 to $135 per person weekly. 'An Ontario farm vacation is a good opportunity to explore the rural roots to Ontario," says Miss van Son. "Many of the vacation farms are original home- steads." For the farm family, host- ing a vacation farm is hard, but rewarding work. It offers the opportunity to share experiences, and meet people from across Ontario, Canada, and Europe. Detailed information about vacation farms is available in the Ontario Va- cation Farm Association pamphlet, which can be ob- tained from local agricult- ural offices, or from the Ontario Vacation Farm Association, R.R.2, Erin, Ontario NOB 1T9. °8) ©
