GoodLot Farmstead Brewing Co. is a family-owned organic hop farm and solar powered brewery located within the rolling hills of Caledon. We began growing organic hops in 2009 and developed into the first farm-to-barrel brewery in the Ontario greenbelt in 2017. Launching GoodLot Farmstead Brewing follows a passion to brew terroir driven beers that support and feature locally grown ingredients. GoodLot Farm is about community building, sustainability and good people enjoying good beer and a good time.
At GoodLot, we are happy to offer a full-farm rental or a private booking of one of our three unique venues. We cater to a variety of gatherings from corporate functions to private social events to small weddings. Each of our venues is a delightful space that exudes a warm and welcoming vibe. But don't take our word for it! We invite you to come and experience them for yourselves...
The Oast Barn
An all-year round, indoor venue located within the old Drive Shed which was built in 1890. Newly renovated with exposed beams, pine walls, and corrugated steel accents that create a rustic and charming space. The Oast Barn features 9 to 10 beers on tap, a large bar area, a full AV setup and a roll up garage door which opens up to a small attached patio space. The space can accommodate up to 60 people mixing/mingling indoors (45 for a full sit down meal).
The Hop Bin
An outdoor beer garden space located next to the brew barn and featuring the Hop Bin Bar (made from an old grain silo) as well as an outdoor stage. The Hop Bin has eight beers on tap and features large bright and colourful sun/rain sails that make you feel joyful while providing shade from the sun and limited shelter from the rain. The capacity of the Hop Bin beer garden is 110 people and there is always live music happening Thursdays through Sundays.
The Good Spot
Another outdoor beer garden space featuring an outdoor kitchen (for our resident chef) and an adjacent fire pit area with Adirondack lounge chairs and views to the hop fields where the sheep graze helping keep pests at bay. Close by are lawn games such as corn hole and giant jenga, flower and vegetable gardens and happy chickens strutting around doing their thing. The Good Spot has four various beers on tap as well as the same large joyful sun sails that are set up over the Hop Bin. The capacity of The Good Spot beer garden is 110 people and there is always good food happening from 3-8pm Thursdays through Sundays.

Absolutely perfect venue for our 50th birthday party celebration! Adults and kids alike raved about the gorgeous event space and the experience of being together for a party at the Oast Barn, which included delicious food by Soulyve, karoake, and a chance for the kids to run on the frisbee golf course (with the chickens!) while adults chatted with a drink by the bar. And we could invite our dog to the party too! It couldn’t have been easier to plan and host with the help of Monica and her team. I have been dreaming of an opportunity for another party there!Read more

When I thought of using GoodLot's Oast Barn as the back drop for our Company Christmas party I knew it would be the perfect venue. It surpassed my expectations. As a "local" I have had the privilege to witness GoodLot grow from serving beer to friends, to the opening of the Hop Bin, the Good Spot and their latest venture, the Oast Barn. The cozy environment the Oast Barn provides makes everyone feel they have entered an environment that defies normal time. And it doesn't stop there. The service I received from Monica who handled my initial inquiry to book the venue was seamless. All questions were handled expeditiously and her recommendations on caterers were also top-shelf. During the event, both Monica and Carley's service (who bartended the event) were outstanding, both participating in our themed event. I can't say enough about how much our staff and myself appreciated how hard they worked to make our Christmas Party the best we had ever had. At no time did we feel rushed and at the end of a very busy evening, they helped me clean up any additional props and decor I had brought in.
I would definitely recommend visiting GoodLot. Whether you are just wanting a drink and food in the summer while listening to live music on their patio, or grabbing a snack and a drink in the Oast Barn all year round, I would most definitely recommend checking this place out.Read more

Our group was fortunate to hold a Community Meeting and Fundraiser at GoodLot in August 2023. What a fabulous experience for all! Monica and the team went all out to help us get organized with food and refreshments, and ensuring our audio needs were met. The perfect location for people to get to mix and mingle. We plan to do it again!Read more

We have hosted our Golf Tournament Fund Raiser Après Tee at GoodLot for two years now and have booked again for our 3rd. Between the setting, the beer and the amazing food by Soulyve- it makes for a really special event. The staff are so friendly, easy to work with in planning and genuinely excited for your group to be there. It's a really special place and your clients/guests will love it!Read more

We hosted a small business retreat back in October in the Oast Barn. The space was perfect and had everything we needed. The staff are very accommodating and they want to ensure your event goes off without a hitch. As per Goodlot's recommendation, Soulyve catered our function and we couldn't have been happier with the selection and the quality of food. Absolutely delicious! The service was top-notch from both parties and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone. We have to give a special shout out to Monica, who was exceptional from day one - from the time we booked to the day of execution. We cannot give enough praise and are confident if you host your next upcoming function with Goodlot, you will not be disappointed.Read more

A fantastic space nestled in the heart of the Greenbelt, this was a great space to utilize when my company hosted a fundraising retreat last year. The staff are fantastic, and I'm looking forward to visiting again soon!Read more
