Ernest and Agnes Brown established a homestead on the land we now live. They were the original homesteaders. Ernest was a JP (Justice of the Peace). There are stories of the trials held around the small kitchen table on the homestead. Twice a year Ernest would make a two day trip to Assiniboia (45 minute drive now) for supplies. They moved off the farm in the early 1940's.
In 1956, Bill & Isabell (Winton's folks) bought the farmsite and farmed until the late 1990's. We began farming in 1979 and have farmed organically since 2000.
