Please feel free to stop by our table at the Market or visit our website for more information on the wool products we carry – from delightfully cosy 100% wool blankets, to hot water bottle cozys, to soap in a coat – I’m sure we have a little something for everyone.
Brook Ridge Farm was established in 1995 when we purchased this property just west of the town of Antigonish, in North Eastern Nova Scotia. The rambling 200 acre tract of land is home to our Border Leicester purebred sheep, along with the commercial crossbred ewes and select purebred rams we employ in our breeding program.
Our farm family consists of not only of the sheep but horses, donkeys, goats, cats, rabbits and a dog. Although we love to call them our own, the deer who frequent the fields are transient visitors. The resident ravens, red tailed hawk and curious fox add to the color and sound of our little hamlet!
We breed, sell and show Border Leicester purebred stock and you will see some of the quality animals we have raised within the confines of this site. Should you be interested in starting your own flock, complimenting the breed you currently have or adding maternal power to your commercial line please feel free to contact us.

Starting as blueberry producers, in 1994 we branched out to become beekeepers. Over the years our beehives have been used to pollinate not only our own blueberry fields in the Denver, Guysborough County area, but fields throughout Eastern Mainland Nova Scotia. When the pollinating season is over, the bees are free to roam and gather nectar and pollen from the wildflowers in and around their apiaries. These nectar sources make a mild and tasty honey.
Our honey is pure, unfiltered and unpasteurized, all done the old fashioned way, slowly and lovingly. We also use organic methods to control pests and diseases whenever possible. With time and experience we have greatly expanded the line of products we produce from our own honey to include jams, jellies, creamed and liquid honey, delicious honey cranberry chutney, and even honey butters.
During the fall months, gift boxes, filled with jams and jellies, are available for the gift-giving season. Anyone would be delighted to get a ” Sweet of You to try Us” product. The fall is also the time of year when beeswax cappings (that thin layer of beeswax covering the ripened honey) is carefully harvested, melted, cleaned and made into a variety of all natural beeswax candles for your enjoyment.
Products may be ordered directly – give us a call. Other locations for our products are listed on our website,
