Riverdale Farm

[2][3] The main barn was first constructed in 1858 in Markham and moved to the present site and rebuilt in 1977.

[4] Animals at the farm include poultry, waterfowl, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, donkeys, and horses.

A 2011 consultant's report recommended the closure of the farm, along with the High Park Zoo, as a means to cut cost for the city.

[5] In 2013, the W. Garfield Weston Foundation made a CAD $25,000 donation to provide funds to keep the farm operating in the short term.

Other corporate and private donors have provided substantial financial injections to allow the Farm to continue operations for current and future generations through 2027.
