In 2018, a couple of city escapees decided to give farming a whirl, thinking, "Why not turn this patch of dirt into something fancy?" Eye-rolls and skeptics followed, but armed with determination and a "prove ‘em wrong" spirit, they not only transformed their land into a beautiful farm but planted a flourishing vineyard. in spring 2024 they will be launching a self guided winery tasting experience.

Yep, you heard right – the first winery in Perth County. It wasn't all sunshine and vineyards, though. Picture these first-gen farmers wading through mud with grape-stained boots, proving that you can cultivate both crops and a damn good sense of humor.

As they raise a glass in their vineyard oasis, they're not just sipping wine; they're raising a glass to turning "impossible" into "pour me another."

Vineyard

We have a 5 acre vineyard planted with 5 grape varetials: Vidal, Marquette, Petite Pearl, Frontenac Blanc, and Itasca. These are all cold climate grapes and we are looking forward to our newest adventure!

History of the farm

While fixing up our original barn we found a 1903 Toronto newspaper in the walls that was delivered to a David Ratz. According to the Perth County archives, Henry Eidt and David Ratz purchased the farm for $1000 in 1884. Prior to that the property was run as an Inn since 1868. In the early 1900s the Ratz familiy ran a sawmill down by the creek. The concrete footings from the mill are still beside our creek. After many owners and different farm operations such as sheep, rabbits, and hay we are happy to have put down our own roots here as first generation farmers. We have had chickens and goats!
