Burnbrae Farms

Burnbrae Farms has been owned and operated by the Hudson family since Joseph Hudson founded the farm in Lyn, Ontario in 1891; the company describes itself as a sixth-generation Canadian family business, with president Margaret Hudson identifying as a fourth-generation family farmer, and no external shareholder or foreign parent is named anywhere on the site. Corporations Canada's federal search only accepts a POST request this tool could not reproduce and returned an application error on retry, so ownership rests on the vendor's own repeated statements rather than a registry filing.
