The Brooder House -
Built in 1949
Chickens
"The Brooder House" was among the first buildings on the Ellis farm, but is no longer standing. It housed many young hens, or 'pullets', before they were moved to the hen house to lay eggs. Valleyfield also raised meat birds, or 'broilers' for several years, but are no longer involved in that business.

The Ellis Family (1968)
Family Legacy
A rare shot of Cuthbert & Margaret Ellis with their three grown children. The Ellis sons helped out on the farm as kids, but began working there full-time, when they were in their 20's. They own and operate Valleyfield Farm together, to this day.
