Self-Guided Tours:
We all know time spent in the outdoors brings benefits that last a lifetime. Connecting with nature provides young people the opportunity to develop their innate curiosity and wisdom that helps the world turn as it should in a circle of give and take. This is the true meaning of stewardship.
During our open hours, pick up the ClearWater Farm map at the farm stand take be sure to visit all the inspiring places like: Mud Mountain, The Hugelkultur Area, The Trading Tree, The Forest, Greenhouses, The Barn and The Biodigester.

We extend our thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their support with a grant that has helped us plan and adapt to the challenges presented by COVID-19.
Virtual Visits
Inspired by the real historic farm and the place-based learning we have offered is the new ClearWater Kids interactive website to help families explore nature. Meet Potato the Chicken, no ordinary farmyard fowl, who is so named because of her love for potato peels. Potato is the mascot who guides ClearWater Kids through their online experience. A fun and funny character loved by all ages, Potato is actually a time-travelling superhero who has returned from the future with insights to share about how we can all live together in harmony with nature and each other.
Join in the fun interactive games and activities at clearwaterkids.org, a “Kids Safe” space with tons of resources for parents and teachers too!
