SUNFLOWERS
Acres of blooms turning with the sun, open now. Cut your own stems — five for $7 or ten for $10 — and take the field home with you.
A Place to Gather
ROOTED IN NATURE,
GATHERED TOGETHER
Parkside Acres is our family's farm — four siblings, our spouses, and fields we're opening to yours. Wander the sunflowers this summer, hunt pumpkins in the fall, and cut tulips come spring. Fresh coffee, butter tarts, and cookies on the farm to enjoy while you're here. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm.
What's in Season
EVERY SEASON, A NEW REASON
The farm turns with the year — and each turn brings something worth picking. Here's what's growing now, and what's on its way.

This AutumnFall
PUMPKINS
Pick your pumpkin straight from the patch — big ones for carving, small ones for the windowsill, and every lumpy, lovable shape between.
Next SpringSpring
TULIPS
Rows of colour after the long winter. Fill a basket with fresh-cut tulips and shake off the season the best way we know.
Rooted in the Barnard name
Our Family
FOUR SIBLINGS,
ONE FARM
Parkside Acres belongs to four siblings and our spouses, with the next generation already learning to drive the tractor. The bear on our crest honours the Barnard name we grew up under; the farm itself belongs to all of us, and the table keeps getting longer.
We're building this place slowly and honestly: fields you can wander, fresh coffee to linger over, and the kind of afternoon that doesn't need a schedule. Timeless spaces for meaningful moments — that's the whole plan.
GATHER. CELEBRATE. REMEMBER.
