Relaxing. Take it at your own pace. Great for families. The people who work there are friendly and know so much about the early days of farming.

I haven't been to Ross Farm since I was a child, and I brought my son and niece to plant pumpkin seeds. We cant wait to come back in September to harvest our pumpkins! It was cold and windy but we did it all, the wagon ride, the structures. We even got to try milking a cow! The day was spectacular, the staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and the hands-on, interactive approach made it seem as if we had truly stepped back in time. We'll be back every year!

The farm is super cute with lots to learn and do. There are also a few kitties to find if you are lucky.

I have been going to New Ross Farm for several years, but hadn't been there in six, because I had moved away. I always enjoyed the many themed weekends and the hands-on experiences. Today, was my first time seeing the new building and I found the parking a little confusing. I parked left of the driveway and then had to walk a bit downhill to go through the gift shop and pay and see the very interesting and worthwhile displays and the new classrooms. I really liked the barn theme! When you go outside again, you have to walk uphill more than you did before and I thought that might be a bit of a struggle for some people with disabilities or if you are in a wheelchair. There were several new staff whom I got to speak with and I enjoyed my wagon ride. I found the fellow giving the rides more informative than those in the past. It was wonderful to go down to the trees and along the lake. I was a bit short for time, so did not hop off to see the cooper shop or the blacksmith shop this time. There was one younger lamb in the barn, but no piglets or other newborn animals at this time. The last time I was there, I witnessed the birth of and videotaped a baby lamb coming into the world. Its twin was born just beforehand and I saw it right after it was born. This is a wonderful place to take kids to teach them about such things. The fellows were loading the wagon with hay and then unloading at the barn and I also visited the house and outbuildings there. I learned that the farm is growing hops for one of the Halifax breweries and they were growing out in the garden. I did not need to go back into the gift shop on the way and thought it a little bit different, as most museums do have their entrances and exits in the same location. Perhaps there's some way they can work it so that you go back through, as that certainly increases revenue. I did go in for curiosity, as there was a very large selection and I wanted to see what was available. There is something for everybody there and they also had big oatmeal cookies and drinks and other snacks. I will be back!

Our family goes regularly to the farm. Our kids see the farm animals, especially new born animals. We look foward to sheep shearing and wool spinning. We mark the pumpkin plant weekend in our calendar in advance. Its a great day. We've enjoyed home made cookies from the cottage and horse buggy rides. Our kids look forward to pinic lunches at the pinic table by the lake. My daughter loves her home made apron from the gift store, uses it faithfully when cooking with me. We love the farm. Wish we could live there. Back again for 2018 pumpkin plant. Another fantastic day at the farm. Kids loved it.
