Country living at its best.! Leeds county offers a most diverse community in which to live and raise a family. Farming and agriculture have been valued as a mainstay in the economic investment in the area. The impact on the region and beyond has been immeasurable, financially, socially and culturally. As an area founded largely by United Empire Loyalists, the main industry for many decades was agriculture. In many instances, our heritage can be traced to those who settled in the community and made their living from the land. As these family-owned farms prospered – so did society. In particular, the Highway 29 corridor has long been associated with the agriculture industry and its path has been dotted with family owned and run livestock and gardening operations – businesses which have served as the family’s main source of income or as a supplement to augment the family finances. One such property is 9073 Highway 29. Purchased a number of years ago, the present owners accepted the challenge to return the farm to its original flourishing status. The Hosick family has rooted itself into the community, taking a basic farm operation and establishing it as a thriving market garden. The original barn has been renewed to bring it back to its original true value. And, because of the efforts of the Hosick family, passers by are often seen stopping to enjoy the plethora of plantings which surround the home and in the gardens. The Hosicks have determined that their home would be a dwelling that would satisfy their nostalgic links to an earlier era. In their desire to provide a true trysting place for their family, they have continued to encourage the creative – both artistic and musical and become renowned in the community for their participation in musical events such as First Night, church concerts, etc, and have established themselves as teachers of piano. 9073 Highway 29 has thus become a sanctuary for both the owners and all who have the opportunity to enjoy the warm hospitality.
