John Hungler Sr. emigrated from Yugoslavia to Canada and worked in the mines in N. Ontario to make enough money to send for his wife, Josephine and daughter.

The Hungler family moved to Kingsville and share cropped tobacco on the farm they would eventually buy.
June 1950
The farm was purchased by John Sr and Josephine. They slowly moved out of tobacco and into market gardening. John Sr. died in 1960 after which Josephine and family continued the work.

The farm property passed to John and Josephine’s three other children and in 1984 three quarters of it was sold out of the family.
