Chudleigh’s Entertainment Farm Receives Town Agricultural Building Renovation Grant

HALTON HILLS, ON – On December 5, the Town of Halton Hills awarded the Agricultural Building Renovation Community Improvement Plan (CIP) grant to Chudleigh’s Entertainment Farm. The $25,000 grant supported on-farm diversification through the construction of a multi-purpose wood barn with retail operations which was crafted from Killarney, Ontario sourced materials. Mayor Ann Lawlor, accompanied by Regional Councillor Clark Somerville, Ward 2 Councillors Jason Brass and Joseph Racinsky and members of the Town’s Economic Development division presented Chudleigh’s with a ceremonial cheque in recognition of this achievement.

“This Community Improvement Plan supports agri-tourism businesses to enhance infrastructure and improve services. By investing in these projects, we are supporting our agricultural sector to remain competitive and sustainable for future generations,” said Mayor Ann Lawlor. “The massive wood barn construction is another example of Chudleigh’s creativity and success in our community and in agri-tourism.”

Chudleigh’s Entertainment Farm has been a cherished Halton Hills destination for families since 1967, offering a slice of country life and the warmth of freshly baked apple pies. What began as a small, on-site baking operation has grown into a modern 110,000-square-foot bakery producing desserts enjoyed across North America. Even with their international success, Chudleigh’s remains deeply rooted in their local heritage and dedicated to creating memorable experiences on their family farm.

“This grant truly helped us transform our space from a seasonal tent to a landmark building, it has made a real difference,” said owner, Scott Chudleigh.

The Community Improvement Plan offers grants and loans to eligible businesses and organizations, encouraging revitalization, attracting private sector investment, supporting the redevelopment of underutilized properties, and bolstering local job opportunities.
