Meet the Minis
A visit to Mini Cow Canada isn't just about seeing animals - it's about slowing down, connecting with nature, and spending time with animals that are truly part of our family.
Welcome to our home.
We're a private, family-run farm in Newtonville, Ontario, and we welcome visitors all year long. Because this is our home (not a commercial attraction) every visit is personal. You'll have the opportunity to step behind the fences, meet our animals up close, hear their individual stories, and experience farm life in a way that's authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable.
Whether you're visiting with family, planning a date, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, we have an experience that's right for you.
Your New Farm Friends Are Waiting
Our guided Full farm tour is the best way to experience everything Mini Cow Canada has to offer.
You'll meet every member of our animal family, including our miniature Highland cows, Tibetan yaks, Valley Doll sheep, Kunekune pigs, Silkie chickens, Kevin the peacock, and of course Philomena the turkey. Along the way, we'll introduce you to each animal by name and teach you about the breeds we raise.
This isn't a tour where you're standing on the other side of a fence. You'll step into the pastures, interact with the animals, ask questions, take photos, and enjoy plenty of hands-on moments.
There's nothing quite like spending time with a miniature highland calf.
Our Calf Cuddle experience gives you the opportunity to get up close with our youngest members of the herd. Depending on the season and the age of our calves, you'll have the chance to pet, cuddle, and capture plenty of photos together.
Every calf has a unique personality, and one of our favourite parts of the experience is watching visitors fall in love with them just as quickly as we did.
If you have an idea, we'd love to hear it. Some of our favourite memories have come from experiences that were completely unique.
We've welcomed surprise proposals, hosted meaningful visits for autistic children, spent quiet afternoons with cancer patients, and created personalized experiences for families celebrating special milestones.
Whether you're planning a birthday, anniversary, photography session, therapeutic visit, or something completely different, we're always happy to work with you to create a memorable experience.
Because Mini Cow Canada is our private family home, we do not have public hours and all visits are by appointment only.
To book a visit, simply send us a message letting us know what type of experience you're interested in. From there, I’ll connect you with my mother-in-law Caroline, who coordinates all of our farm visits. She'll help answer your questions, find a date that works, and make sure your visit is perfectly planned.
We can't wait to welcome you to the farm, introduce you to our animals, and share a little piece of the life we've built here.

what is does the experience involve and will i get to cuddle every animal?
3
Every visit to Mini Cow Canada is unique because every one of our animals has their own personality.
Our Full Farm Visit gives you the opportunity to meet all of the animals on the farm and enjoy an interactive experience that's much more personal than public farm or petting zoo.
Throughout the year, we also offer specialty experiences—such as Calf Cuddles - that focus on spending extra time with specific animals.
Because our animals' wellbeing always comes first, we can't guarantee that a particular animal will want to cuddle, pose for photos, or interact in a certain way on the day of your visit. Just like people, they have different moods from day to day.
We'll always do our very best to create a memorable experience and encourage natural interactions, but we ask guests to understand that every visit is different - and that's part of what makes it so special.
