Riverdale Farm - Toronto
How many large cities have a fully functioning farm right in their downtown and to top it off, it's FREE? Riverdale Farm is a great place for both children and adults. It's located on the east side of downtown Toronto, in one of the most charming neighbourhoods, Cabbagetown. Yes, the farm is called Riverdale Farm but it's located in Cabbagetown, not Riverdale, which is on the east side of the Don River.
Cabbagetown is a charming neighbourhood with beautiful, historic homes. If you come to Toronto, you've got to check it out. Also there is a great historic cemetery, right beside the farm/park, which you should also check out. Shopping and restaurants/bars are close by too, on Parliament Street, just a 5 minute walk west.
There are lots of charming things to take pics of in Cabbagetown. Chinatown East is just across the river too, if you're in the mood for Chinese food. I'm always in the mood for Chinese food! lol
And for those who love farms, Centre Island also has a free farm with animals running around but it's smaller then the one here.

There were Not a lot of people visiting the Riverdale Farm earlier today, but I was very lucky to meet Isabela Raimundo from Curitiba, Parana Brasil who was there and she kept ME company and we both decided to do our Riverdale Farm Tour Together!
At the very beginning we saw some horses, but later on we saw much more than that because we were Not sure what was actually opened vs. what was closed because some of the paths were actually closed, but after I asked somebody, we then learned that there was more to see than just two (2) horses.
Lol.
I want to personally Thank Isabela Raimundo for keeping ME company during my Riverdale Farm Tour and for helping ME make my Youtube Video as well!

Riverdale Farm, Toronto
A family visit on July 20, 2014
CANADA TORONTO RIVERDALE FARM
This park features: Historic working farm, scenic pathways, programs and seasonal events, pig and poultry barn, historic Francey Barn, Simpson House, Meeting House, the “Residence”, Old Zoo Ruins
Riverdale Farm officially opened on September 9, 1978. Originally owned by John Scadding, the City of Toronto purchased what was to be Riverdale Park in 1856. In 1894, the Riverdale Zoo opened to become Toronto’s first zoo, but eventually it was closed in 1974 with the animals relocated to the new Toronto Zoo in Scarborough. From 1974 to 1978, many of the Riverdale Zoo buildings were removed and the site leveled. The Residence, the Donnybrook, and the Island House buildings are the only zoo buildings left remaining on the Riverdale site.
The Francey Barn
This barn is located inside the main gates. Originally built in 1858 on a farm in the Markham Township, it was donated by Mrs. Garnett Francey to the City of Toronto in 1977. The Francey Barn is a rare type of architecture, known as a Pennsylvania Bank Barn. Bank Barns are built on the side of hills or river banks. This has the advantage of having an upper and lower floor accessible from ground level. The animals are housed on the lower level, while upstairs the Francey Barn holds tonnes of hay, straw and feed.
The Simpson House
The Victorian-style farmhouse, named after the restoration architect ( Napier Simpson Jr.) who built it, is to the left of the main entrance. It is a reproduction of the original Francey farmhouse to complement the Francey Barn. Public washrooms are located on the ground floor. Wheelchair access is on the north side of the Simpson House.
The Pig and Poultry Barn
This Barn is located to the east of the Simpson House. Domesticated waterfowl, chickens, turkeys and pigs are found in and around this barn. During the day our waterfowl can be found visiting the Duck Pond located across from the Meeting House. The Farm regularly replenishes the flock of chickens and turkeys.
The Driveshed
At Riverdale Farm, this building serves a number of purposes and the lower level is open to the public for special events and seasonal education / interpretive programs.
The Meeting House
The three-storey building, completed in 1993 is located at the east-end of Riverdale Farm by the duck pond. Recreational and interpretive activities are offered to the public inside the Meeting House. The farm’s lost and found, first aid, public washrooms and baby changing facilities are all found on the main floor. Pottery and spinning/weaving rooms are located downstairs. Classes are offered seasonally from September to June. The Meeting House is the home base of the Farm’s Summer Camp Programs.
The Old Zoo Ruins
From 1894 to 1974, the Riverdale Zoo was located on this site. When the Metro Zoo opened in Scarborough in 1974, the site was restored as a farm to provide city children the chance to see how a farm works.
Three buildings remain from the old Riverdale Zoo:
1. Donnybrook Ruin stands beside the cow paddock. It was originally a two-storey building, but a tower and a main floor is all that remains today.
2. Island House sits in the middle of the lower pond. It housed many different kinds of birds and animals during the eighty years of the zoo.
3. Resident Zookeeper’s House is located beside the Meeting House. It was built in 1902 by prisoners of the Toronto Don Jail and functioned as a residence, a staff building, zoo hospital, and temporary morgue for the Necropolis Cemetery. Today, the “Residence” (as it is now called) is used for a variety of farm-related and community-based programs.

This is actually the Last Thing that we saw just before leaving Riverdale Farm and that was these two (2) cows who are out here all alone...
I just want to say that I am Happy that I finally visited Riverdale Farm after so many years of Not doing so and I want to personally Thank Isabela Raimundo for keeping ME company and for helping ME make my Youtube Video(s).

In this video, Isabela Raimundo and I are at one of their barns and inside we found chickens, various birds, pigs, rabbits, etc.
I am so glad that we did Not give up on our tour because we almost left thinking that none of the barns were open when In Fact at least two (2) of them were open.
I want to personally Thank Isabela Raimundo for accompanying ME during my Riverdale Farm tour and for helping ME make my Youtube Video!

This is the second (2nd) barn that both Isabela Raimundo and myself visited today!
In this barn with saw other animals such as sheep and even saw the area where they do demonstrations with the animals on a daily basis. Unfortunately, we got there too late and missed the demonstrations, but at least we were able to see the animals.
I want to personally Thank Isabela Raimundo for helping ME make my Youtube Video!
