Sexsmith Farm is a 65 acre family and community shared farming business. It first came to our family in 1867 through Jonathon Sexsmith, who passed it on to his three sons Fredrick, George and Matthew. Fredrick then passed his 100 acres to Royal and Ronald Sexsmith. Roy became a scholar, and Principal. Ronald farmed the land. In 1980, Ronald’s youngest son, Ralph, settled here with his wife Marcia and two daughters, Debbie and Deanna. As a boy, Ralph remembers planting 200 acres of popping corn. Sheep grazed here, then milk cows and then beef cattle. Crop rotation was with forage, oats, stone barley, wheat , corn and pasture. Since that time, crops such as tomatoes, soybeans and wheat have been tried. Early practices of rotation kept our soil fertile, as did minimal tillage.
