Where the Peace Country Comes to Life.
On a hilltop just outside Sexsmith, Alberta...
With views that stretch across the Peace Country as far as you can see, Down to Earth Farms is the kind of place that's getting harder to find — and harder to forget.
This isn't a zoo. There's no ticket booth, no choreographed show. It's a real working farm where the animals come right up to the fence, visitors go INTO the pens, and nobody's in a hurry to leave.
Come for an hour, stay for the afternoon. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, bring whoever needs a reminder that the best things in life are still pretty simple.

"Great farm you can interact with almost all the animals. Beautiful view, able to feed most animals. Owner is friendly. Playground was a good bonus for my kid who got tired of the animals quickly. Loved the fire pit, they sell hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream"

"Amazing birthday venue!! Worth every penny. We had a range of kids from baby to teen, and everyone had a blast (including the adults)!"

"This was my first time coming to this farm and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Most of the animals are able to roam freely and interact with the guests. It's a pretty big farm and your able to feed the animals a mixture of lettuce and carrots. There's also a playground area and small snack bar that sell hot dogs, ice cream and drinks. This is a great place to bring young children."

"It feels like such a blessing to have this place near Grande Prairie. The admission fee was very reasonable, and the variety of animals (all looking healthy and well cared for ) was impressive. Thanks to this experience, I had an incredibly satisfying day. Honestly, it might have been the most enjoyable day I've had in the 10 years I've lived in Grande Prairie."

Where it all began
It started with one man, his family, and a love of animals. No business plan, no marketing — just a farm on a hilltop in rural northern Alberta, and the kind of welcome that makes people feel like they've been coming here their whole lives. Over ten years, word spread the old-fashioned way — one family telling another. Come see what they've been talking about.
