Description : The Stoddart family has owned their farm on the 6th Line of Bradford West Gwillimbury for only 60 years. But the family has lived in the area since first emigrating from Ireland - in 1819. The Stoddarts were one of the first to clear land and settle in West Gwillimbury, carrying out mixed farming, and raising hogs. It was about a year and a half ago that simply organizing a hog operation was no longer sufficient, in a difficult economy. Their answer to the difficult economy was to open the "Pork & Herb Shoppe." The Stoddart Family Farm Pork & Herd Shoppe is open four days a week, Thursdays to Sundays.
