Adrien and Evelyn Gervais purchased the farm in 1968 and grew tobacco until 1979.Getting out of the tobacco industry, strawberries were the first crop, beginning in 1977, followed by blueberries, raspberries and asparagus in the mid 80’s. By the 90’s the blueberry fields had grown to 40 acres, making Barrie Hill Farms one of the the largest highbush blueberry farms in Ontario. The farm continues to offer customers new and exciting products.
