The family farm was very evident in the village area and names of pioneer families appeared on the mail boxes along the concessions and sideroads.

The sons and grandsons of pioneers named Sutherland, Hutton, Steer, Thompson, Veal, McCracken, Amie, Lowthian, Carruthers, Heath, Nichols, Baxter, Riely, Whiteman, Fisher, McGregor, McEvoy, Innes, Winters, Lamont, Waters, Leitch, Ballantyne, Cobban, Brodie, TuU, Trott, Gibson, Bateman, McMullan, Bowley, Snellgrove, contributed to the farm community and the economy of the area.

Farming was the backbone of every village community. The village businesses prospered when there was a good crop year and many of the village enterprises catered to the farm trade.

Family farming in the early part of the century was still a viable business. Generation after generation followed the family heritage; they either farmed the family farm or purchased neighboring land and established another family farm.
