Looking to break the February Blues?
Visit the cheese shop and explore the Back Forty on Saturday February 18th and celebrate the Family Day weekend. Enjoy the outdoors with some great food, drink, and fun filled winter activities.
With multiple toboggan runs and over 5 kms of groomed trails meandering through the farm’s forests and fields, Winterland provides a great opportunity to get some exercise, enjoy nature, and reward yourself with delicious food and beverages fireside, hot from the outdoor wood oven / grill.
“Although the farm is beautiful year round, the winter is our favorite time to explore the trails. The Mississippi River is typically open with resident trumpeter swans and black creek flows through the bush with multiple waterfalls to listen to and enjoy” says owner and cheese maker Jeff Fenwick.
In addition to the self-guided snowshoe trails, Back Forty has teamed up with Kick and Push Brewery to host the inaugural “River to Sky 5k” snowshoe race. If you’re looking to challenge yourself or explore a new sport, this exciting snowshoe race will provide a great opportunity to have some fun and test your fitness. After the race participants can enjoy a Kick and Push craft beer and some delicious food fireside.
This event is easily accessible by snowmobile, located 1km from the K&P trail in Mississippi Station. To pre-register for the race and for more Winterland details visit www.artisancheese.ca.
