Our Story

​

Farming has been a tradition of Hebbville and the Hebb family for many generations with our farm being no exception that. In 1856, Abraham Hebb began what would become a tradition of farming that still exists today.

​

The farm became a family affair as Abraham passed on the tradition to his son William, who made huge developments - adding a cranberry bog which still exists today as Canada's oldest working cranberry operation.

 

The farm continued with future generations with William's son, Fletcher, and then to Gerald. Gerald established the farm market that today stands as an important connection between the farm and community. Allowing customers to visit the heart of the farm to purchase their produce fresh became an important asset to many visitors.

 

Today, the farm is run by Gerald's son, Glen, and Glen's son, Matthew. Glen brought the farm into the 21st century while maintaining the tradition and hard working values of his ancestors. Matthew brings additional innovation and expertise to the farm, coupled with his commitment to tradition and quality, like generations before.

 

Glen's wife, Marilyn, began a bedding plant business in 2005 with the establishment of Beulah's Bloomers Greenhouses. The name is a homage to Glen's grandmother, Beulah, who was an avid gardener. 

 

Come see us! The future of family farming in Hebbville has never looked so bright!
