点评:When our Whitby friends suggested a visit to the farm near their home, we didn't know they were going to take us all the way to Willowtree Farm in Port Perry. I thought we were going to see another rustic farm, but I was wrong. Willowtree Farm is fancy and modern. The spacious parking lot is paved, there is a farm yard—free admission but do not feed the animals—complete with bunnies, peacock, sheep, goats (with their very own red barn and climbing silo), chickens and a chonky pig wallowing in the mud; a huge playground area, park benches, several picnic tables and a retired farm tractor. Inside the air conditioned farm market is a retail store and a cafe with indoor seating. There's even an outdoor patio. Another local hotspot, moderately busy, popular with families with young kids.
While some in our group opted to sit and enjoy some coffee and baked goods, we browsed the shelves and decided to buy a pound of sponge cake ($14) and a jar of apple peach jam ($8.75). Aside from basic items like milk, eggs, meat and locally grown fruits and vegetables, the store also carries chips, ice cream and deli cheese. I believe they sell mostly product of Ontario stuff. Some locally made non-food items I saw include Bee By The Sea skincare, Bridlewood soaps and Michaud Toys game boards.
Willowtree Farm likewise sells food products under their own private label. A few of the Willowtree Farm items we saw were the 3L apple cider box ($15), salads, kettle corn, salsa, chili sauce, hamburger relish, assorted jams and maple syrup. Prices were on the high side which wasn't altogether surprising. Credit card accepted.
We stayed here for over an hour. Definitely worth checking out. Store and playground hours are 9AM-6PM. Washroom in the premises.
翻译:当惠特比的朋友们提议去他们家附近的农场参观时,我们并不知道他们会带我们前往位于波特佩里的柳树树农场。我原以为会看到一个普通的乡村式农场,但事实并非如此。柳树树农场既豪华又现代化。宽敞的停车场铺有柏油路面;农场内还有一个庭院——免费入场,但请勿喂食动物——那里有兔子、孔雀、绵羊和山羊(它们还有属于自己的红色谷仓以及可供攀爬的筒仓)。鸡群以及一头胖乎乎的猪正在泥潭里打滚;这里有一个很大的游乐区、公园长椅、几张野餐桌,还有一台已经不再使用的农用拖拉机。在带有空调的农场市场内,有一个零售店和一家设有室内座位的咖啡馆,甚至还有一个户外露台。这里是另一个当地的热门去处,人气中等,深受带小孩的家庭喜爱。
我们一行人中有些人则选择坐下,享受咖啡和各式烘焙食品。我们浏览了货架,最后决定买一磅海绵蛋糕(14美元)和一罐苹果桃子果酱(8.75美元)。除了牛奶、鸡蛋、肉类以及当地产的水果和蔬菜等基本食品外,店里还出售薯片、冰淇淋和熟食奶酪。我觉得这里出售的大多都是安大略省本地生产的产品。我看到的本地制造的非食品类商品还包括Bee By The Sea的护肤品、Bridlewood的肥皂以及Michaud Toys的桌游。Willowtree Farm同样以自有品牌销售食品。我们看到的Willowtree Farm产品包括一盒3升装的苹果酒(售价15美元)、各种沙拉、爆米花、莎莎酱、辣椒酱、汉堡配料酱,还有各式各样的果酱和枫糖浆。价格算是偏高的,不过这也不足为奇。商店接受信用卡付款。
我们在那里停留了一个多小时。绝对值得一去。商店和游乐场的营业时间为上午9点至下午6点。店内设有洗手间。
