Coming soon: disability access rules for agritourism

by Mary Baxter



A provincial strategy to improve accessibility for people with disabilities is taking its first  steps into the private sector with the introduction of mandatory customer service standards in 2012.

But there won’t be any scrambling at Don and Julie Budd’s farm to meet these new requirements – or others as they come into force.

The Budds own Leaping Deere Legends Corn Maze and Museum east of Ingersoll in Oxford County. The 370-acre farm combines cash crops with an agritourism business that includes a farm store, event facility, corn maze and a collection of vintage farm implements.
