Brooks Farms
"Brooks Farms started in the mid 1800's when Edward Brooks, a bright-eyed
London bobbie, decided to bring his family from England to Canada. After spending
a few years closer to the town of Uxbridge, Edward moved the family a little
further west towards Mount Albert, and set up home base at our current location.
For over 150 years the farm grew corn, wheat, barley, turnips, potatoes,
and all sorts of farm animals. In 1990, the forth generation farmer, Alvin
Brooks and his wife Brenda, decided that growing pick your own strawberries
and raspberries would help put their sons and daughter through school.
In 1994, their second oldest son, Paul, decided to farm full-time with
his father.
In 1998, after several years of growth with strawberries and raspberries,
Brooks Farms started to offer pick your own pumpkins, and the Fall Fun
Festival was born. Thousands of visitors have enjoyed the entertainment,
as well as the homemade jams and jellies, and fresh fruit and vegetables
available at the farm."
