Such a cute farm, amazing little farm stand with a variety of both local and specialty foods. I've been multiple times for various events such as goat yoga, an artist's market, and a holiday photo session with goats dressed up as elves. I enjoy going as everyone that works and volunteers there is so kind and knowledgeable. They have goat petting and occasionally goat milking opportunities as well! Parking is off-road and on busy days ends up just off the highway. Parking lot is gravel but walking from lot to farm requires going over grass. The area near the barn, pavillion, and restaurant is gravel.

Nice little getaway in town! We loved petting the baby goats. They also have some amazing options for locally made artisan goods.

Greatly enjoyed our visit to Prairie Fruits Farm. Charcuterie and Cheese Board was very good, especially the cheeses. We will probably take just the cheese board next time. The Pork Chop was very good, with wonderful maple glaze. The mushroom risotto was okay. Could have used a stronger mushroom flavor. We ended up with goat milk gelato which was excellent.

Came for the art fair and goats, stayed for the excellent restaurant. 10/10 highly recommended.

This can easily be considered a "hidden gem" due to its location. With a farmhouse, barns, gardens, fields, and goats, this embodies the true "farm to table atmosphere." The restaurant and it's staff are quality as is their offerings. Casey greeted us with a positive and uplifting personality and her knowledge of the menu made our choice simple. The chicken sandwich was the best I've ever had! The bun was light and fluffy unlike anything I've ever experienced. It was delicately topped with an Aioli, Tomato Jam, and Thick Cut Bacon which made for the ultimate surprise in our eyes. Tender and Juicy! I'd like to thank Connor in the kitchen for the suggestion to give this place a try! You were right! 10/10 would recommend and will be back again!

My partner and I love prairie fruits farm and have been coming here for years! We are so excited to see the new owners expanding this amazing farm to include a restaurant! Yesterday we went for the first time and tried their sandwiches and salads. The food was delicious! We got the gyro flat bread, chicken sandwich and farm salad along with glasses of sparkling rose. Everything was great! Very complex flavor. Lots of lovely details like edible flowers and very fresh! The prices per serving are on the higher end but this is for good reasons! using local ingredients is expensive! Also, they have a no tipping policy and just pay their workers a livable wage. So know that the money is well worth it! Don’t forget to pet some goats on your way out!

If you haven’t taken the time to drop by this delightful farm, give yourself permission to do so right away. Although my arrival was impromptu, my timing was rewarded with an exceptional wine tasting. The entire team, especially Lisa, she immediately made me feel like a neighbor. Check out their web site for upcoming events. Of course it’s so easy to make friends with all the adorable goats. Make time for a walk about along the trails on this gorgeous property. Come prepared to taste and take home an amazing variety of cheeses that will please your every desire and become a staple on your shopping list.

Amazing experience! I was in town and was happy to find out about the Farm-to-table Tasting Menu at Caprae Restaurant at Prairie Fruit Farm. This week featured Indigenous Food and Cooking techniques--what an amazing experience! The evening started with a farm tour, delicious cocktails followed by a multi-course experience overseen by the Chef and for this night featuring his Sous Chef who has expertise in Indigenous Cooking. Not only was the food top-notch but the farm owner and staff was warm and inviting. The proceeds from the dinner went to support good causes too!

First time at Prairie Fruits, will definitely go back, maybe on a regular basis. Had a brunch reservation (highly recommend) and there were a few vendors selling their homemade wares. Easy to get to, not overwhelming, and goats. Just go, you won't regret it.
