About Our Farm

Charles Riley and his family began farming on the property that is now Brooklands Farm in October 1876. A son, George, followed in his father's footsteps, building a large frame house on the property for his wife and family in 1899, and a new barn in 1901.

The third generation of Rileys, Roy and his wife, took over the farm in 1918 and established a dairy business. In 1937, they dismantled the original log house log-by-log and rebuilt it in a new location to house a pasteurizer, as was required by new legislation. Following service as a bomber pilot during World War II, their son, Walker, returned to Brooklands with his English bride Joane and took over the farm while his father continued to operate the dairy.

In 1958, Walker ceased full-time farming and enrolled at Ontario Agricultural College, graduating with his Bachelor's degree in Agriculture in 1962. His career as an agriculturalist took him to teaching positions at Kemptville and Montreal and eventually to a position with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture in North Bay. During this period, members of the family continued farming on a part-time basis. Following his retirement in 1985, Walker returned to full-time farming at Brooklands with Joane and their son, Philip. After Philip acquired his own maple syrup operation near Goderich in 1996, another son, Ken, his wife, Katya, and their sons, Nikhil and Rohan, returned to the family farm.

Over the years, Brooklands Farm has undergone a transition from dairy farming to market gardening and a thriving maple syrup operation. Tile drainage, irrigation and soil improvement initiatives have enhanced and sustained the land, the barn and dairy have been restored, and the three houses on the property have been refurbished.
