Lauraine and Bert Andrews chose and purchased a 100 acre "run down" farm in 1980 with the plan of operating a pick your own berry farm. From this initial vision came the Andrews' Scenic Acres slogan "Growing Berries is our Business".
We chose the name Andrews' Scenic Acres as our farm is nestled southeast of the beautiful Niagara Escarpment. The name also reflects our family farm as a beautiful and relaxing place for all ages to visit.
From the period of our initial development through to the present day in the new millennium, our growth areas include our farm market, farmers' markets, school tours, adult group tours and pick your own. In 1999 Andrews' Scenic Acres expanded to include a fruit winery "Scotch Block Winery" . Using fruit and grapes grown on our farm the winery has unlimited potential and appeal.
Some of our farm family highlights include 'Business of the Year in 1992' by the Milton Chamber of Commerce. In 1994 Bert was inducted into the "Hall of Honour" at Norwood District High School. Also in 1994 the Andrews Family: Lauraine, Bert, Angela, Kurtis and Valerie were chosen "Farm Family of the Year" by the Halton Region Federation of Agriculture. In 2002 our fledgling Scotch Block Country Winery was chosen "Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce. This award is presented annually to a new business venture in Halton Hills.
