One of the big draws for us is their very tastefully curated market shop which has everything from costume jewellery, home decor/accoutrements, classy tableware etc. Their name branded Springridge Farm chutneys, BBQ seasonings, rubs and salad dressings are outstanding! Every year they increase their repertoire. They have a ton of other jarred comestibles. They have a lovely bakery/coffee shop on site where you can relax in the garden under the large trees.

The setting is picturesque, picture bucolic fields and a nice view! The hills are alive with the sound of Springridge!

Attention to the owners. Your new building looks amazing but what your contractor failed to…read moremention was that polished concrete is slippery as hell when wet. While your Romaine lettuce was edible, the trip to your new location cost me not only 7 hours in the ER room at Brantford General Hospital today but also the 12.00 in parking I paid for that privilege. Thankfully I did not have a concussion but it was a painful long day of waiting to be seen for help today. Besides having a rug for customers to walk on, I would suggest you get your construction crew back to rough up your floors especially the wee ramp upon exiting. Good luck with your future, but I will not be returning EVER!!!

For me, Sunfest is THE festival that starts off summer and festival season in London. With great…read moremusic, awesome food, and unique vendors, this festival is full of fun for everyone. There were lots of different local food options at this festival. From your typical festival food (fries, funnel cakes, etc), to Indian, Thai, and even Ethiopian. There was plenty of healthier options if that is more your taste. Keep in mind, the food section was rammed during dinnertime. Lots of lines and people trying to get through. It isn't easy and can be frustrating. There are multiple stages scattered throughout the park which offer a wide variety of music styles all weekend. I got to see a bit of Five Alarm Funk and the Samba Squad, both really great acts. People were dancing and having a great time. I really love the vendors at Sunfest. There are a lot from the Toronto area which adds a bit of variety in comparison to other festivals in Victoria Park. There are still tons of local vendors too which is nice because there are a ton of locally made products available. I don't get out to the markets as much as I should so its nice to see their wares displayed in the park. While this festival is super busy, it brings a welcome, positive buzz to the downtown core. Good vibes all around, I highly recommend!

This place has a ton of washrooms and they are clean. Also Jordan's Forts (not Forest which makes me think he never visited), is fun and guess what?

The staff are an absolute joy and so kind. I'm glad he's not returning, Clovermead doesn't need miserable, vengeful guests like yourself. Check it out for yourself. This place is popular for a reason!

We were there from 11:30am to closing and still didn't see all as they kids were hard to pull away to explore more. The service was great, the staff were so pleasant and helpful. Pizza and ice cream were yummy! There are washrooms conveniently located throughout the park and they are so clean, well lit and very much appreciated. It was a fantastic day. We needed more time to do more and repeats. Will definately be going back again. I would like to add, please disregard Ted W comments. The farm is well taken care of, the staff is great, the splash pad was clean and we didn't see any unsafe areas for children.

Maybe I came to Winona Peach Festival with high expectations?! I was hoping for an event that has…read morepeach everything since it is a peach festival?! There are only a few stalls outside the entrance that sells Peach. Nothing I could not get from a local farmer's market! And the other peach thing is probably their $5 Peach Sundaes which I could made at home! There are no admission fee. Maybe I should not be complaining? Worth coming if you are in the area. There are no on site parking. The official free parking is at Puddicombe Farms but you need to get a shuttle which is $5 per person return to get to the Park!!! Though the charge is towards charity. There are also numerous food outlets that are run by local charities, you expect to find so so food but all for a good cause!
