TILBILLY  HALLOWEEN     ADVENTURE   FARM 

           

Here at TILBILLY HALLOWEEN ADVENTURE FARM we invite you to discover a actual working farm. We understand that many children have not had a chance to experience life on the farm. We offer a unique touch that includes blend of farming and fun activities, that helps to have a greater appreciation for plants, living things, farming and the outdoors. Also have knowledge on self sustenance and where food actually comes from.

                  -OUR STORY-                  THE DEMERS FAMILY FARM IS A 50-ACRE FARM NEAR TILBURY, ONTARIO. JAMES IS A THIRD GENERATION FARMER. HIS GRANDFATHER RAYMOND AND LORETTA PURCHASED IT IN 1942. HE PURCHASED THE FARM FOR $2500. THERE WAS NO HOUSE ON THE LAND. DUE TO WOOD RATIONS RESULTING FROM THE WAR. HE BOUGHT A USED CHICKEN COOP FROM A NEARBY NEIGHBOR, AND DRAGGED IT DOWN TO THE FARM WITH HIS TRACTOR, AND TURNED IT INTO HIS HOME. HE RAISED FOUR CHILDREN ON THE FARM. ERNIE HIS SON BOUGHT THE FARM IN 1967 FROM HIS FATHER. HE AND HIS WIFE ERNESTINE BUILT ANOTHER HOUSE AND CONTINUED TO FARM THE LAND, GROWING VEGETABLES AND CASH CROPS AS WELL AS RAISING CHICKENS, COWS AND PIGS. THEY RAISED THREE CHILDREN UP ON THE FARM. IN 2009 JAMES HIS SON BOUGHT THE FARM FROM HIS FATHER WHICH HE CONTINUES TO FARM. JAMES AND TERILIN ARE NOW RAISING TWO CHILDREN,  NOW THE FOURTH GENERATION OF CHILDREN ARE BEING RAISED AND TAUGHT THE VALUES ABOUT FARMING AND RAISING FARM ANIMALS. IN 2012 JAMES CAME UP WITH AN IDEA ABOUT A HALLOWEEN FUN FARM AND HAS BEEN BUILDING IT AND EXPANDING THE FARM FUN EVERY YEAR SINCE, FOR FAMILIES TO ENJOY.
