Quinn Farm hosts massive Easter egg hunt
WATCH: At least 30,000 eggs were scattered amongst the trees as thousands of children stomped the grounds of the Quinn Farm's evergreen plantation hunting for hidden treasures – Apr 1, 2018
The entire Quinn family pitches in for the annual event — even young Alex, the third generation of Quinns, donned bunny ears and handed out treats to his fellow kids during Sunday’s hunt.

The West Island family farm got the idea for its popular Easter egg hunt from similar events elsewhere, such as in Toronto and the U.S.

“We have heard horror stories of parks trying to do it and it not going well,” Quinn said. “But here, we are used to having crowds around with the ‘You Pick’ [visits] — but this time, you’re picking eggs instead of strawberries.”

With “only a couple of Facebook posts,” the farm, located in L’Île-Perrot, has managed to attract large numbers of Easter visitors for the fifth year running.
The event continues until April 2, with wagon rides leaving every half-hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Quinn has some advice for families wanting to join in on the fun tomorrow: “Bring your boots, because it’s springtime on the farm — there will be mud.”
