BITS & BYTES & STUFF

---

Over the years, the farm has been a popular spot for film shoots, 

which  have included: 

The Recruit, Fahrenheit 451, Taken, 

Reign and more recently, 

Mrs. America, A Handmaid's Tale, 

Forgive Us Our Trespasses, 

Beacon Street, The Accused, 

Rabbit Hole, Dutch & Knuckles,

and other smaller productions. 

This added film revenue helps Ontario Heritage Trust maintain the property.

Filming has now wrapped up for a number of productions. A Dutch & Knuckles shoot, along with a milk commercial, and Sheriff Country were part of the action!

Please follow us on FB for regular film, and farm updates.

Scotsdale Farm is a beautiful, calming place to visit, so making it accessible to the public is very important to us! 

Open public areas continue to be an important part of our daily / weekly mantra ........a wonderful way to de-stress ourselves, and our families. 

The hiking trails managed by the Bruce Trail Conservancy are all in great shape. 

The CVC and BTC also have a 

"pets on leash" policy to be observed.

Recently we have had a couple of 

owners lose their pets. 

Coyotes, coywolves and foxes are all active residents here too!

Things have been busy around the farm as various projects continue on a fairly ongoing basis. The barns have now been completely rewired, along with some updated plumbing. 

The chimneys, and stone work at the Bennett House, cottage and garage have also been restored and repointed......good for another 100 plus years!

Another section of the stone wall at the south side of the Bennett house has been completed by Drystone Canada.

It appears we have a beaver colony  at the pond which is a first for Scotsdale. 

As beavers tend to be nocturnal, a sharp eye early morning before sunrise....you may catch one in action!
