Generations Marketplace - Simcoe, Ontario

Visiting family and brought my 3.5 year old here. It’s nothing too fancy and yet he was entertained for hours! He saw the chickens, turkeys, and sheep- there is a sandbox with toys, a play structure and a little house with play kitchens. The owners are very friendly and came out to have him help feed the chickens which he loved. We bought some local honey in the marketplace. We had a great afternoon and will be back!

Here’s a beauty of a place
Nestled on over 100 acres of picturesque farmland, Generation Market Place Leading Centre is a hidden gem that offers a delightful escape into the countryside. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed not only by the serene beauty of the fields, orchards, and well-tended animals but also by the warm and friendly staff who make you feel right at home.

The farm is a haven for families and individuals alike, with a variety of activities that cater to all ages. For the little ones, there’s a dedicated play area, while those seeking a more relaxed experience can enjoy a leisurely picnic in the designated spots. The clean and well-maintained outdoor toilets add a touch of comfort to the rustic setting, and free parking makes the visit hassle-free.

What truly sets this farm apart is its commitment to sustainable farming practices. All the vegetables are grown without sprays, and the meats are pasture-raised, ensuring that what you consume is both healthy and ethically produced. Their food and vegetable boxes, along with the fresh produce available at the fruit stand, are a wonderful way to bring a taste of the farm home with you.

The farm also offers educational experiences through their teaching classes, and the hay rides provide a fun and informative tour of the property. For those looking to extend their visit, there may be options for an overnight stay at a nearby Airbnb—be sure to call ahead to confirm availability and details.

The on-site store is a treasure trove of fresh, homemade goods. Daily baked treats, freeze-dried fruits, and farm-raised frozen meats are just the beginning. You’ll also find in-house jams, jellies, pickles, eggs, candles, and so much more. And, of course, no visit would be complete without indulging in the famous Hewitt ice cream—a sweet treat that’s sure to please.

Generation Market Place Leading Centre is more than just a farm; it’s an experience. Whether you’re there for a quick visit or a longer stay, it’s a must-stop destination that beautifully combines education, relaxation, and the simple joys of country living. The genuine friendliness of the people here makes the experience all the more memorable.
I definitely highly recommend popping in. You never know what will catch your eyes or what you will learn.

We love Generations Marketplace! Heidi's baking is divine. I highly recommend the scones and artisan bread! Their pork products taste great too. We love her raspbery jam too and pepper jelly's too!
We've done the farm animal tour with our kids and it was wonderful. We loved not only getting up close with lots of animals and learning about them, but also understanding all of the complimentary farming techniques used to maximize the animals, crops and space!
Our kids love going by for a Hewitt's icecream cone and enjoying playtime in the play yard and with the animals.
We've enjoyed going to pick our own strawberries and raspberries too! Great quality, spray free produce!
check it out!

My daughter has attended classes throughout the summer and fall here in the Junior Explorers class. She has so much fun making friends, interacting with adults, farm life, and learning. We have also began making weekly visits for produce, dairy products, the most beautiful eggs you have ever seen, and deeeeelicious baked goods. This farm market is such a beautiful addition to our county, everyone is so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend everything they have to offer .

An amazing gem of a marketplace in Norfolk County. There's lots to see and do!
The farm fresh produce, fresh baked goodies and free range eggs are always worth the trip.
