In support of this year’s International Plowing Match in Walkerton, Ontario, the IPM 2026 Local Committee is planning a fundraising event: the Family Farm Tour. This event will allow visitors to participate in a self-guided tour through seven amazing Bruce County farms.

All the farms are located within a 30 km radius of Chepstow, Ontario.  Visitors can meet the animals, explore the fields and discover the rich agriculture our county has to offer. The farms will welcome guests on Saturday, September 27th from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. After the farm visits, the festivities will continue at the Chepstow Lions Park beginning at 2 p.m., with lots of fun for the kids.  They can enjoy interactive games and hands-on farm fun in the Kid Zone featuring Pedal Tractors, and a Milking Cow.  They can also get up close and personal with the equipment used on the farm with our Touch-a-Tractor event.  Let the kids climb in, honk the horn and snap a picture!

We’ll have delicious food and beverages available, including chicken wings, hot dogs and fries, between 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there!
