Friends of Scotsdale Farm is a federally incorporated non-soliciting Not-for-profit
founded in 2014, located on the Niagara Escarpment,Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada.
Our Mandate is a simple one......to " Help Protect and Steward Scotsdale Farm"
with the support of Ontario Heritage Trust, and the Bruce Trail Conservancy.
We are very proud of what we do, and what has been accomplished thus far.
We will use this page to keep the public up to date with what is going on at Scotsdale Farm,
along with providing everyone with important information.
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.
Parking on the 8th line side would also be a good way to access the property when Film crews are on site!
FILM UPDATE
Another film production company will be setting things up on October 6th for a planned shoot on / off until October 23rd. During this time there will be limited access to parking on some days.
No filming is planned on the weekends.
Follow us on facebook for regular updates.
Even with the graded driveway,
please drive slowly. Along with children, the driveway is also a part of the
Bruce Trail network.

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!
