Homestead Farm is a Registered Egg Grading Station located just 1 km away from the Holland Marsh.  We started grading eggs in 1978 when my parents Tom & Margaret Flack wanted to supply our eggs to local stores. All the eggs that we could not sell ourselves went to a larger egg station at the end of the week. That gave us a fresh supply of eggs for our local customers. In 1983 we had the opportunity to purchase an existing Registered Egg Grading Station in Barrie, Ontario. That increased our customer base and egg supply. Due to the illness of my father and the termination of the lease, my father designed facilities on the farm. In May of 1986, we started construction of our Registered Egg Grading Station which was completed in August.
