The grounds are amazing. The programs for children and families are wonderful. The staff works very hard to accommodate people and the tea room is a nice touch and highlight for my mother and family. This is a gem. I would strongly encourage all parentss to take their children here. Clean, well curated, accessible and affordable when you leave a small donation. Please take the time and go see the Christmas lights. Your family will love it.

At Brantwood Farm, we grow a variety of fruits and vegetables. Beginning with rhubarb and asparagus in the spring and picking continually through the summer season to apples and pumpkins in the fall. In our market you will find the best local grown fruits and vegetables along with preserves, pickles and fresh baked good. We also offer pick your own strawberries and apples, schools tours, birthday parties and Fall Festival weekends in October.
Much more than a farm. We've come here many times to pick and buy fresh, high quality produce, Strawberry and apple picking are our favourite activities here.

I live in Brantford and just walked by the Museum site yesterday. No signage for it these days, but some construction seemed to be going on. I was fortunate to know Syd Bolton, the Personal Computer Museum's founder. Although I've seen many computer museums including California's Computer History Museum and Smithsonian's Science and Technology Museum, this one has items you won't see anywhere else. In particular, Syd had a passion for collecting computers and video game artifacts with Canadian connections. I am proud to have donated many items to the collection from my own career during the early days of personal computing. In March 2018, Syd even specially opened the museum for my family in celebration of a milestone birthday for me. Syd passed away in June 2018. From what I've been able to gather, talks have been underway for some time to have a local university, the city, or another museum to take over this collection. Wilfred Laurier University here in Brantford maintained a satellite museum that contained some of Syd's vintage desktop publishing artifacts. It might still be there and you might be able to see them. Call Laurier and see. Meanwhile, check Youtube for the many video posts Syd made about his collection. A real loss for those of us who still think it important to keep alive the story of the early days of personal computing. If the Museum reopens, go there. You won't be disappointed.

Coming here to eat means a perfect experience on every level every time. The staff are so friendly and so efficient. I’ve been here for lunch more than 6 times this year and it’s been perfect every time.

Since discovering the market this past Fall it has become a weekly destination. I drive in from Hamilton because the meat, produce, baked goods and homemade soups are so good, the people are always friendly and it offers excellent value. Keep up the good work folks!!

The SC Johnson Trail runs 14 kilometres (9 miles) between Paris and Brantford. It travels through farm fields, rare prairie grasslands and provides several scenic vistas overlooking the Grand River. The trail is finished with stone dust and has some steep hills. A few short sections follow municipal roadways so watch for traffic. The brochure, Explore the Hamilton-Brantford-Cambridge Trails, includes a map and descriptions of highlights along the trail. The SC Johnson Trail follows the abandoned Lake Erie and Northern Railway bed and was completed in 1998 through a generous donation by SC Johnson and Son Ltd. of Brantford to the Grand River Conservation Foundation.
The trail system throughout Brantford is a wonderful plus to the community. Easily accessible with lots of parking.
