On Saturday I found out that I live near Riverdale Farm. My neighbour Lisa and I hit up a greasy spoon for brunch then and headed over to check out some nature.

From 1894 to 1974, the site existed as the Riverdale Zoo. On closing, the animals were moved to the new Toronto Zoo and in 1978 the Riverdale Farm opened.

The farm has cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, ducks, geese, donkey, horses, and turkeys.

Here are some pictures I took while we were there:
