There's a little shop to the left when you enter & that's where you buy your $5 admission to the garden. I recommend you do your garden stroll first before buying things so you can appreciate what they sell, but also so that you don't have to lug it around with you. It's a well mapped garden with lots of greenery and later in the summer they open a little cottage inside the garden serving rose and herbal mint chocolate ice cream. They also do high teas, but we were a week too early for their opening dates for that. The garden itself is thriving & there are so many nice places to take pictures while you stroll. I'd recommend bug spray & sunscreen depending on the weather. It's also good that they give you a map with your admission. The herb gardens are abundant and you can smell them as you walk. They actually have a section for wedding parties as well. Back in the shop is a great assortment of herbal jellies and liqueurs made from herbs harvested from the gardens. The ice creams are also available in there too, and washroom is upstairs where you pass by the workshop where they make the wooden packaging for the gift sets. The lady at the counter is absolutely wonderful, and great at recommending flavours as well as giving generous little samples on crackers. She even let us sample a hidden gem there which was blueberry balsamic vinegar, aged about 3 years which was quite lovely. As a tourist, this was a lovely experience & I'd highly recommend visiting!

I have known Vance Morse/Windy View Farm for 15 + years. I started out as a customer with my family…read moreat the old Brewery Market and followed him to the Halifax Seaport Market. One day I saw Vance at the Brewery Market and offered to help him with his huge line up. At the end Vance asked if he could pay me and I told him no as I was volunteering my time. When he got home and counted his money he noticed that he was richer than weeks before. The following Wednesday he called me and asked if I could work for him every Saturday going forward. I said yes. Move forward and you will see that I am no longer 15 years old. I have gone to College, Africa, and done so much. I am so lucky to still kept my relationship with the owner Vance. Vance and I started out as Customer, Employee, and now good friends. Windy View Farm has exceptional products, amazing customer service, and an attitude if it comes off the animal then it can be done. It is hard to get good food these days that you can trust. I am all about animals rights while letting them live for what they are on the earth to do. Provide great food for my family/community. Vance lets the animals be animals. He treats them humanly, does not inject them with all kinds of crap, and most of all lest them roam around freely. If I was to suggest two products to start your journey with him I would suggest the Centre Cut Pork Chops and his chicken. When you enter his website and see his pricing you have to remember that it is based on per pound and not a fixed price. (No different than if you go to the traditional grocery store). However, If I order the boneless skinless chicken breast I might get a better price than the website because the breast might be smaller than a pound. Keep this in mind. If you are looking for wholesale prices then you have to email him or call him. One restaurant in Halifax that uses his products is "The Foggy Goggle" and they were one of the first in Halifax to take him on. So I end you herewith, "give him a try." I don't think you will be disappointed, I know I was not. All it takes is a conversation. :)

They have all the bulk goods, of course, but they also stock a range of supplements, essential oils and gluten free products to rival any health food store in the area.

There are constant 'flash' sales with random items on sale for a ridiculously low price. Follow their social media pages to find out how to get a deal. The only downside to this place is the amount of plastic wrap waste is used in the store. Literally every item is slapped in plastic so it's very discouraging.

Everyone says their stuff is the best in the world but in this case it really is true. 20-30 foot tidal shifts in the Bay of Fundy every day leads to a rugged environment for shellfish to survive in. With that tidal shift comes hearty, delicious seafood, including the scallops. They taste different. Sweeter. Best in the World? Yes, yes they are.

There's not a tremendous amount to see or do in the shop but that's okay since you're much better off just taste-testing some delicious cheeses, or chowing down on a sweet and crispy waffle cone. Still, there is a little window you can peek through to see some of the machines put to use behind the scenes. And the cheeses? Well, take it from me, someone who manages to maintain 80% of his body weight through cheese and cheese alone, are fantastic...and abundant: tons of spiced and smoked goudas (Italian herb, herb and garlic, jalapeno, cumin), fresh curds for homemade poutine (danger...), and even fetas and little known German styles that can act as a substitute for cream cheese!
