Farm on Route 6
Driving into Tatamagouche in March 2016 and admiring the winter sky. The farm stood out against the landscape with the cows chewing the hay.
Charles and Helen Langille bought the farm in 1947 from the Henderson family when they came back to the area after serving in the Air Force during WW II. They had a mixed farm producing cream for Tatamagouche butter, beef for local freezer orders, pigs for shipment to the local abattoir and chickens for the production of eggs. In the late 1970’s the farm became solely pork production but in the 80’s and 90’s most hog farms in the province shut down. In the late 1990’s the farm transitioned from hogs into beef cattle and sheep, which it still produces today.
