Farm on The Lake
01 — About

The brief.

Farm on The Lake is a working Savannah goat farm on the Bruce Peninsula, roughly 225 km north of Toronto. The operation pairs animal-centred farm experiences with overnight stays on the property. Daily drop-in activities include feeding the goat herd at Goat Mountain and entering the Kid Village to handle baby goats. Booked programs cover bottle-feeding sessions, guided barn tours, and birthday parties for groups up to 50. Overnight guests stay in lakefront Bunkie tiny homes on private gravel sites, with kayak, paddle boat, and SUP rentals available on site. The farm also sells Savannah breeding stock and offers hourly farm-setup consulting, alongside a gift shop with branded merchandise.
