About the Farm
Stoneboat farm is a dreamy wonderland. Situated on 225 acres of land (gardens, hay fields, meadows, woods, ponds and more) in Lanark Country, Ontario. The property includes a farm house, a massive creation studio/barn (with sprung dance floor), three individual cabins, two mid-size barns and a workshop. (1.5 hours from Ottawa, 3.5 from Toronto, 20 mins from Perth or Westport)
Our beautiful farm is frankly, one of a kind. You don’t have to take our word for it. It’s the ideal space for weekend getaways, family reunions, working retreats, Yoga retreats, theatre or dance rehearsals, weddings, conferences or if you just want a quiet place in nature to decide what you want to be when you grow up.
The list of artists who have made their work here is extensive: albums have been recorded, short films have been shot, novels written, thesis’ completed (!) photo shoots, lookbook shoots, scripts, theatre plays, paintings, quilting, leather work, choreography, yoga-teacher training. There is no shortage of inspiration. It’s got good vibes.
