Carma Farms: prices, hours and what families should know
Last verified August 15, 2026
Carma Farms keeps the proposition simple: a modest animal-area fee, optional feed and a working-farm market. Children can see cows, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, geese and pigs. It is not a full-day Playland, but the price makes it one of the GTA’s most accessible farm-animal stops.

Carma Farms keeps the proposition simple: a modest animal-area fee, optional feed and a working-farm market. Children can see cows, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, geese and pigs. It is not a full-day Playland, but the price makes it one of the GTA’s most accessible farm-animal stops.
Choose it when
- Families wanting a short, low-cost animal encounter
- Toddlers and younger children who do not need elaborate playgrounds
- Markham-area families combining the visit with farm-market shopping
Important cautions
- Animals may bite and visitors are told not to put hands through fencing
- Last entry is one hour before closing, not at the posted closing time
- No pets or outside food are permitted; service animals cannot enter the animal area
What the visit includes
Know what is included before you promise children a full farm day.
The animal area includes cows, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, geese and many pigs.
Optional feed buckets let families participate while following the farm’s throw-feed safety guidance.
The market sells farm and local products and can extend an otherwise short animal visit.
The experience is intentionally simple and should not be compared with large admission farms by activity count.
A realistic family plan
A smoother visit in three decisions.
- 1
Check social updates for crowd or schedule changes and arrive more than one hour before closing.
- 2
Review feeding rules with children before buying the bucket, then keep fingers away from mouths and fencing.
- 3
Return the feed bucket for the deposit and finish in the market without promising additional play structures.
Conditions that change the day
Working farms are not controlled indoor attractions.
The market has no entrance steps, but the farm notes that outdoor ground is not perfectly smooth. Service animals can enter the market but not the animal area.
Outside food is not permitted. The farm market carries food and local products; portable toilets are available under the FAQ.
The animal visit is outdoors. Same-day volume and conditions can affect access even during posted hours.
For a required mobility, sensory, allergy or washroom accommodation, contact the farm before buying. Crop supply, animal access and outdoor activities can change without notice.
Price record
Seasonal numbers are snapshots—not permanent prices.
Feed costs $5 plus a refundable $5 bucket deposit. Last animal entry and feed sales are one hour before closing.
A family of four pays $8 before feed, making Carma one of the clearest low-cost choices. One shared feed bucket usually preserves that advantage better than buying several.
Questions families ask
Useful answers with the conditions left in.
