We went to Buckhorn Berry Farm at 3055 Berrie Road, Lakefield which is owned and operated by McLean Berry Farm. We purchased the strawberries that were so fresh and sweet and delicious as well as some of their produce which is locally grown and so fresh. They also have yummy baked goods and wonderful service by a very friendly staff. I will be going back there for sure!

McLeans Berry Farm is fun for all ages. Picking berries for yourself is fun and creates memories to share for a life time. The hay ride to the patch is fun too. Great time for kids of all ages.

When at the Peterborough Farmers Market in Saturdays visit Mcleans booth. This summer when we turned down the aisle they were set up on all you could smell was thier strawberries! They were the best. In August and September we had their sweet corn. Even our 4 year old granddaughter ate 3 full cobs. This corn is the sweetest we have ever had.

We loved going to their maplefest last year. The kids had a blast learning and playing and it was nice to be outdoors on a farm. Very scenic. The adults actually eneded up learning a few things too! We're looking forward to going again this year, will be fun with the kids a bit older and able to roll their own toffee on snow and do more of the activities. Just hope it warms up because most of the things to do are outside...although the kids didn't seem bothered by it much last year. Always our go to place to go berry picking each summer. Take the kids, get a tractor ride, pick some fresh berries - is a fun outing for all of us and the kids love taste testing berries right from the field, This year I want to try and pick more to make into jam or have for freezing for smoothies. Winter fruit just doesn't compare. We stop by their booths at the farmers market too - they have good fruits and vegetables. Haven't gone to their pumpkin festival yet but friends tell us it's a lot of fun so we will likely take the kids there with a group this fall. Generally fun place to take the kids, friendly, good products and nice to get out of the city.

My children and grandchildren, husband and I looked forward to attending this event after the exceedingly long winter. As the last reviewer, we were surprised to find it cost $7 just to get in, unless you were under 2 years old. It was very unorganized, and the wagon ride (about two minutes long) was pulled by a tractor, and we had to wait for 15-20 minutes for the kids to get a little piece of maple toffee on a popsicle sticks which came out of the pocket of the girl handing them out. While we stood waiting we got to watch a gloomy faced man monitor the temperature of the maple syrup on an electric burner. No explanations about what he was doing or the process, and no pleasantries. The kids had no idea what to do with their sticks when the strip of hot toffee was poured into a trough of snow in front of them, and the girl only told us after we ask. Then she told us that if it wasn't done quickly enough it wouldn't roll up on the stick. Too late!There was a pen with a few sheep and goats but no one was there, so any petting was done by sticking their hands through the fence. Since the animals were on the other side of the pen I didn't see any kids even notice that it was there.The pancakes cost $7.50 and were offered by a chip truck. The best part was run by a very pleasant young woman who helped the kids saw off a piece of 3" log which was then branded with a hot iron maple leaf.So really you're paying $7 for a small piece of maple toffee, a 3" piece of log, and a two minute wagon ride behind a diesel tractor. There must be better places to go for this type of event, because with all the gloomy staff, I'm hard pressed to call this a Maple "festival"!

As parents of 4 and our guests have 5 kids we were greeted at the gate with a charge of 7.00 each so were thinking that included our heavily advertised pancake breakfast. But that was not the case. You then go into a run down building where they have burnt coffee for 1.25 plus tax, other assorted treats and were thinking oh maybe we will buy some treats for the kids after breakfast? So we ask the girls is this where we order the pancakes she then informs us that we order food at the chip wagon, well the 13 of us go to the chip wagon and see the sign $7.50 for pancakes!!!!!! Needless to say we were not impressed! We paid 77.00 to park in a decrepit farm field no syrup running due to the cold weather I get it! And 7.50 for razor thin pancakes baby toe size sausages!!! As a hard working mother and father take our advice!!! Wonderland!!!! Is the better deal. And for the local radio station 105.1 shame on you! For promoting this farce

Every year at sugaring off time we take the kids. As they get older they still love going to see the snow canon, get their maple leaf branded log and eat the toffee right off of the snow. The maple cotton candy was a treat this year. We always enjoy the live local entertainment while eating our pancakes after a ride on the horse and wagon and visiting the animals in the zoo.It is a worthwhile day with the kids!
