Welcome
To McLeod Creek Farm Online!
McLeod Creek Farm is a very busy, actual working
farm.
During the summer months, we see an average of
8,000+ people come through the farm to
experience the sheer peace of farm life. Being
able to be a part of it is absolutely
exhilarating for children and adults alike. To
see all the wondrous breeds of animals, touch
them, feed them and even go for a ride on a
pony! People love to be able to visit us.
The fresh air is great too!
Through the last 25 years,
we have seen many people come back as adults
with their children. Being able to show and tell
them about a farm that they once visited when
they were
young is a truly incredible
accomplishment!
We are now seeing second generations come for a
tour!
Some of the things that happen at McLeod Creek
Farm:
First and foremost, we are a working farm. We
breed, raise, train and sell Canadian Shetland
Ponies. We run school tours, regular tours,
birthday parties on special occasions, weddings,
family reunions and much more on a yearly basis.
It takes a lot of hard work to keep a place like
this around, it truly is great!
Over the last 25 years, McLeod Creek Farm has
been working to keep farm life available to
children, and adults
to come out and view. To get a feel
for what it might be like to have and run a
farm.
Many of the livestock breeds are rated as rare
or endangered by Rare Breeds Canada and cannot
be seen, in quantity, anywhere else in Western
Canada. Current
rare and endangered species include: Guinea
fowl, Pilgrim geese, Production Rouen ducks,
Indian Runner ducks, Utility Embden Geese,
Shetland Sheep, Jacobs sheep, Shetland Pony, Lac
La Croix Indian pony, and Dexter cattle. More information on these breeds can be
found at: http://www.rarebreedscanada.ca/index.htm.
McLeod Creek Farm provides some animals for
petting and touching, but no other direct access
to livestock pens is allowed.
This is done for the safety and health of
our customers and livestock.
We wish to maintain a secure, clean,
manure free environment for our customers to
reduce any possible health or safety issues.
Hand washing stations are maintained for
the same purpose.
We also wish to control the access to our
stock to provide them with a stress free, safe
environment.
Significant numbers of the display stock
at McLeod Creek Farm have lived well beyond
their normal life expectancy, partly due to the
environment we provide.
Thank
you and enjoy! McLeod
