Absolutely! We love it when pets come to visit, as long as they are well behaved and you agree to help clean up after them should any accidents happen! We have met so many amazing pets here, including many dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards and even a pot bellied pig. Here at Heeman’s they will always get some love from people in the orange shirts.
Happy to say our greenhouses are nice and flat to ensure an easy and smooth ride! With nice wide aisles, there is room to turn around comfortably. We also have a wheelchair accessible washroom near the back of the main walkway. There are a couple parts of the farm, such as the Pick Your Own fields and the display hill, that are not wheelchair accessible.
