The building on right of trees is a pump house (housing a well) and the building in the centre of the picture is the garage. The building under construction is the tool and implement shed, with the family farmhouse on the far left. Dwight Nelson was a founding member of the Innisfil Farmers Credit Union. In the early to mid 1930s Dwight and Vera raised silver foxes for their fur, which was in fashion. By 1939 the farm had its first tractor, water was being pumped to the barn, a milking machine was installed, the family began to sell milk to Lakeview Dairy in Barrie, and the farm officially received its name after it was painted on the barn. The farm was eventually rented to Gordon Rix until 1973 when it was subdivided and sold. The barn lasted from 1905 to 1972, and the farmhouse lasted from 1915 until 1978. Sunnybrae Avenue and Sunnybrae Public School are both named for this farm., IHS2275
