Tay Valley Township is pleased to re-launch its Legacy Farms Program as part of its 25th Anniversary celebrations. Farms in the Township that have been in the same family for 100, 150 or 200 years (as of the date of application) are eligible for legacy farm designation. Approved legacy farm owners will receive an official certificate recognizing the award and, optionally, a sign (see photo).
Hard copy forms are available at the Municipal Office.
During the 200th Anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement in 2016, 50 farm properties in the Township were recognized. See a complete list of those designated properties in the brochure of Legacy Farm names. Some of these farms are identified on the Community and Culture Map. Tay Valley Township partnered with the Township of Drummond/North Elmsley on this project.
