ABOUT

The Old Barnyard

Where it all started...


The whole concept of Spotlight on the Barnyard began long before the reality of today. Our owner was born and raised on a dairy farm not far from our present location. Milking cows was his passion and developed a very impressive herd of red and white Holsteins. Over those early years, experiences in animal nutrition were developed and was followed by a degree in animal science from the Nova Scotia Agricultural College (now Dalhousie university - agricultural campus). A return to the home farm reinforced these principals and work with poultry, sheep, goats has widened those horizons. Its been an amazing 50 years. 

Todays farm still exists as an important component of Spotlight on the Barnyard . Our expertise and understanding of our customers needs trace directly to the workings of the Old Barnyard.

" Thank you too Rainbow Springs Holsteins for everything you have given (and continue to give) me"
