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.

Parking on the 8th line side would also be a good way to access the property when Hollywood is on site!

Parking will be very limited with no access around the buildings and barns.

IMPORTANT STUFF

BYTES

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 too!

Please be aware while on the trails, and in the fields there are lots of insects to deal with, so bug spray would be a good idea.

Also, dog owners, please check your dog for ticks, and yourselves for that matter too. It sounds like some areas have

lots of them!

IMPORTANT STUFF

Things have been busy around the farm this summer / fall, as various projects wind down. 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, and a new roof is being planned for the house too.

It appears we have a beaver colony setting up a lodge at the pond which will be a first for Scotsdale.

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

Please remember:

Groups using buses, and oversize vehicles must register them through our contact form. It is important to observe the

Idling Control By-law # 2005-0083

as well!

Parking is only permitted in the designated parking areas.

There is also parking at

the 8th Line entrance.

A great spot to use when the film folks are on site!
