Castle Frederick Farms Inc.

Castle Frederick Farms Inc. Castle Frederick is home to the Bremner family, eighth and ninth generation from Colonel Joseph Frederick Wallet DesBarres, who settled here in 1763.

The Bremner Girls, Erin, Robin, Alyson and Kathryn, together with their parents, Jim and Frances, own and operate Castle Frederick Farms Inc. in Falmouth, NS. The girls are the 8th generation on the farm, descendants of Colonel Joseph Frederick Wallet DesBarres, who was granted the land in 1763. Castle Frederick Farms Inc. consists of a herd of approximately 300 head of cattle, 200 acres of pastur

e and 200 acres of productive marshlands for hay and forage to feed the livestock through the winter. There are 1500 acres of forest land producing several forest products today. These lands are serviced by roads and trails frequented by wildlife and utilized by many for hunting and other recreational activities. The Bremner Family is proud of their long history in the agricultural community, as well as their dedication to environmental stewardship. A recent biodiversity study revealed many unique species of plants, insects and birds on the property, as well as a healthy ecosystem that has been and will continue to be sustained for many years. Protecting the watershed is high on the priority list, as the farm borders on approximately 7 kilometres of the Avon River. In summer of 2010 Ducks Unlimited restored a wetland on the farm and this is now a popular feature with visitors. The Archaeological Land Trust of Nova Scotia signed a Stewardship Agreement with the Bremner family and Castle Frederick Farms Incorporated to ensure the protection of six archaeological sites. Castle Frederick has been the subject of a number of archaeological investigations over the past two decades and is considered to be an area of archaeological significance in Nova Scotia.
