About 1847

As farmers, we understand the importance of the food we grow, proudly holding our Foodland Ontario certification. We take great pride in helping to feed our community and our country with our crops. Our connection to our farm is special, and we’d love to share its story with you.

In 2009, our parents purchased the farm from a family friend. Curious about its history, we asked him to share its past. We discovered that Dr. and Mrs. Longfield had preserved paperwork dating back to the first people who worked the land. Originally owned by the Flewellings, the farm was passed down to a daughter who married a Warmington. It was then sold to the Baileys, who later sold it to the Longfields, before finally becoming part of our family.

The farmhouse, built in 1847, is one of the oldest buildings in our county. It has weathered many storms and seen numerous owners. During the 1930s, the house was abandoned and became a local hangout for the Fergus hockey team, who once nearly burned it down during a party! Despite all this, the house stood strong. The Longfields completely renovated it in 1967 in celebration of Canada’s centennial. Today, this quaint little place is our beloved home.
