HART HOUSE FARM

Located along the scenic Niagara

Escarpment, the 150-acre Hart House

Farm offers a welcome escape from

the city. Engaging programming is often

organized by the Hart House Farm

Committee, and it is available for retreats

and events all year round.

The farmhouse, Ignatieff House, contains

essentials including a kitchen and living

quarters. The property features a maple

sugar bush, cleared fields and a stone

wall constructed entirely without mortar.

A well-trodden path leads to a limestone

palisade and a Finnish-style log sauna

built adjacent to one of three scenic

quarry ponds.

Each year, the Farm Committee hosts a

series of events marking the changes of the

season. In 2018–19, the farm welcomed

over 2,600 guests for various initiatives,

including the land-based Indigenous

Education programming offered in

partnership with the Waakebiness-Bryce

Institute for Indigenous Health at the Dalla

Lana School of Public Health.
