News & History

Our website has insightful information on farm animal facts, as well as strawberry recipes! School teachers might find the information on farm animals, located in our Farm Tours section, useful for class and assignments.

In the summertime, Strawberry and Raspberry  season starts all across Manitoba. Boonstra Farms is always busy around this time of year, and we are located in Stonewall, Manitoba just 15 minutes from the Winnipeg Perimeter.

When the weather starts to turn cold, and the leaves turn color you know Fall is coming. This is just the time of year to visit Murray's Maze. Located just 15 minutes north of the Winnipeg perimeter, this corn maze may be Canada's largest!  See the media library on the left for a news article on this.
