Fall 2011
Hi Folks:
Although this is an invitation to teachers and students to return to Dyment's this year, we want to include all who have enabled us to continue to make our farm the happy, educational and beautiful spot that it is. Next year we will be celebrating 125 years of the farm being owned by the Dyments. It is a significant milestone for any business and we are so very proud and appreciative of your support.
Our school tour prices remain @$6 plus HST, our gate on weekends is $7/child and $8/adult and our birthday package is $16/person. We have added some new interesting things on the farm, plus our corn maze is becoming an adventure in the story of Spookley the Square Pumpkin.
Fessenden School will be holding their funfair at the farm this fall (first weekend in October) and all are welcome. They along with us are working very hard to make this a special event.
Weddings at the farm are a new interest with four already booked for 2012.
So here we are sitting on the edge (of the wonderful Niagara Escarpment) waiting for your visit. Please email bdyment@sympatico.ca or visit www.dyments.com
Sincerely, Betty Dyment
