Located in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula of Ontario, Canada, the Wallace Homestead Farm is a welcome retreat and
respite from the grind of modern life. Nestled amid the serenity of endless farmland our family, friends and visitors enjoy
their farm life experiences during their visits and retreats to our farm.

Visitors enjoy weekend summer visits and participate in farm chores providing the children with a taste of country life.
Family, friends, and visitors have traveled from as far as South Korea for visits and to experience farm life. Our cattle are
all tame and love the attention.

Springtime is a time of new growth and newborns. Janie brings in a newborn Hereford calf during an early spring snow as
the calf's mother follows. Miles, a Hereford bull calf enjoys the springtime sun. The morning sun greets Faith, one of our
Herefords, and her newborn calf a Hereford & Angus cross heifer. Most of our calving is in the early spring but new arrivals
come throughout the year.

All of our crops are organically grown without any artificial fertilizers
or insecticide and herbicide sprays. We use a vintage 1940 Farmall
H tractor to cultivate the field. Even though the Farmall H is an
antique classic tractor it still has to earn its keep on the farm. In the
right picture, Janie is weeding in our organic garden which supplies
our family and visitors with fresh wholesome vegetables.

Hay grown on our farm consisting of Timothy, Alfalfa, Red Clover and Orchid grass is the primary winter diet of our cattle. Janie rakes a first
cutting of Timothy as some late timothy hay is baled and in the far right picture alfalfa is ready to unload from the automatic bale wagon into
the hay mow.

Wildlife abounds in the peninsula farmlands of Niagara. Whitetail deer frequently pay us a visit browsing in our front and back yards most
every evening. In the center picture, a newborn fawn found along one of our fence rows awaits its mother to return from foraging in the
woods. Pictured far right is Rascal, the raccoon, making his daily raid on the cats food.

Winters in the Niagara peninsula region are enjoyable providing extra time for rest, reflexion, and planning for the new year to come. Cross
country skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, sledding & tobogganing , and hunting sports are favorite activities to the past time away. With rest
and recreation also comes daily chores of tending to the winter herd and performing maintenance on buildings and equipment.
