Port Hope Visitor Guide 2019
This is a place where you can slow down. If the weekend was a place, if the weekend was a philosophy, a conversation, a memory – this is where it would be. Port Hope is a place where you can shake hands with a farmer, snuggle a goat, take a dip in a cool lake, eat a meal fresh-picked from a local field, and breathe it all in. There’s room here. There’s quiet. There’s slow. And there are more ways to enjoy your day than weekends in a year. Come enjoy craft food, drinks and sunsets by the water. Explore quaint streets and scenic country roads. It’s the weekend.

HAND-CRAFTED GOODNESS<br />
Homegrown tastes and flavours is what we do best, thanks to the hardworking<br />
farmers and producers behind the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Hope</strong> food and drink scene. They<br />
bring their talents to work the land with care and pride. Some have been<br />
here for generations and others are newly drawn by the water, fresh air and the<br />
serenity of a quieter lifestyle. Come say hello and sample!<br />

The Oslands know their farming! The family has<br />
been farming since 1900. I married into it. My husband<br />
Darrell is an amazing farmer. It would kill him to give it<br />
up. He is the youngest of eight kids and his dad gave<br />
each of the three boys a calf to raise to sell or keep,<br />
and Darrell was the only one to keep it and breed it. His<br />
dad knew then that Darrell would take over the farm.<br />
Osland Farm<br />
Why is your beef and lamb so good? They’re<br />
naturally raised and spend a lot of time outside eating<br />
hay or grass. It’s a healthy life for them. They’re content. Years ago, you’d see cattle in every<br />
field, but now so many people are cash-cropping because you don’t<br />
have the year-round work. With animals, you feed them twice a day<br />
and take care of them.<br />
“They’re naturally raised and spend a lot of time<br />
outside eating hay or grass. It’s a healthy life for them.<br />
They’re content.”<br />
Is it a labour of love? Yes, it’s honest work. It’s hard work and takes<br />
a lot of planning. We have 80 acres of a mixed farm where<br />
we grow only what we use or sell. I have ladies in their 70s<br />
coming to the farm for steak and asking me how to<br />
cook it. You take a cast iron pan, start it on the stovetop<br />
and then into the oven. Best steak you’ve ever eaten.<br />
