Well over 100 people participated in the 7th World Naked Bike Ride in Toronto yesterday. The weather was grey and cool but none of that kept participants from stripping and riding. Thankfully, the rain held off until the last five minutes of the ride. The group included a significant contingent from Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park.

Last fall, a blog post told the story of the Growers Cider ads that were done at Bare Oaks. [click here to read] At the time the ads were on billboards and transit shelters in British Columbia and Alberta. Later, the campaign was extended to a website. This year, the campaign has come to Ontario. (as you can see above) In this image, all of the people featured are regulars at Bare Oaks. We’ll let you figure out who they are. Some of my friends and neighbours who recognized me as they drove by the billboard thought it was part of a promotional campaign for BareRead More →

For those of you would like to have a garden plot at Bare Oaks, we announce the opening of “The Naked Gardens”.

It is easy plus it saves water, resources, time and effort. Visit www.squarefootgardening.com for more details The 4’x4′ raised beds are now available for planting.  ThereRead More →

Being nude is the best way (and the most natural way) to maximize vitamin D production. The more skin we expose to the sun the more vitamin D is synthesized. According to Dr. Michael Holick, when we make vitamin D in the skin, it last 2-3 time longer in the body than supplements & dietary sources.  So we are now carrying Dr. Holick’s new book, The Vitamin D Solution, in the Bare Boutique at Bare Oaks.  There has been an enormous amount of information in recent years about the importance of the “sunshine vitamin” on our health. Research studies have suggested that it helps us fightRead More →

We’re very pleased to announce that, for the first time, the Bare Bistro is now fully licensed. (in previous years, liquor was sold under special occasions permits) Also, a reminder that the Bare Bistro is now open 7 days per week. (see the Bare Bistro website for hours of operation) There has been much speculation about what it means to have a licensed establishment within Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park.  In fact, nothing has changed legally, as a result of the liquor license other than you are now able to purchase wine, beer and other drinks at the Bare Bistro. What we did learn isRead More →
