The Hughes family has been involved in fruit farming for over 100 years. Farmer John’s parents, Leslie and Jane Hughes, purchased this farm in 1960 when their farm in Mississauga (Dixie & Dundas) was sold for development. They purchased the farm from the Hartley family. The Hartley’s were fruit farmers as well and they had been here since the turn of the century. There are many seniors in Milton with fond memories of picking fruit as a youngster on the “old Hartley farm.”
