Welcome to “The Farmer’s Walk Bed & Breakfast”
&  Sandy Small Proudfoot Quilt Designs.

This charming farmhouse-style home is set quietly on ten acres of land in meadows & woods overlooking the beautiful Hockley Valley to the north.  We have been in business for nearly two decades & are a non-smoking B&B; guests are welcome to smoke beneath our covered front porch.  Children are welcome with parental supervision.  There are dogs in residence but not underfoot.  Dietary requirements considered.

Often guests return each year; some of whom include riders competing at Palgrave & the Fairgrounds; alpaca breeders arrive April & November; hikers, spring to autumn; Tai Chi, year round; ice fishing & canoeists on Island Lake Conservation; artist’s workshops with encaustic painter Andrea Bird at The Alton Mill; The Dufferin County Museum; cross-country skiers & snowshoeing during the winter months.  Also, many overnight wedding guests & those attending family reunions.  One very unusual guest: Tom Cleveland, a ham radio enthusiast, who set up camp in our north field for a world-wide ham radio contest over one week-end. Tom managed to slip in & out of the house, quietly avoiding the six women friends gathered here for a week-end retreat.  We have many fine restaurants in our area as well.  For current happenings check out the Headwaters Tourism website and In The Hills Magazine, a great publication featuring our local area & residents.

Who We Are:  Jock is a retired airline pilot, glider pilot, instructor & tow pilot at York Soaring near Arthur, Ontario.  He works quietly in the background cutting grass; shoveling snow & keeping the laneway clear in winter.  From May to October he can be found at York Soaring or in the sky.  Sandy is a graduate of The Ontario College of Art & Design & is a quilt & clothing designer whose work has been accepted into juried exhibits in Canada, the United States and London, England.  Her quilt patterns are for sale under the Quilt Design Page.  She also volunteers in the community for Telecheck, Victims Services & with Aussie Rescue Ontario.
