Van Osch Farms

The Van Osch family farm started with Harry and Paula Van Osch immigrating to Canada from Holland on their honeymoon in 1954 and settling in the fertile Crediton, ON area of Middlesex County.

They had five children, three daughters and two sons, with both boys growing up to carry on farming. Van Osch Farms was incorporated with Gerald and Fred in 1978.

The farm evolved from a dairy cow and cash crop operation to the current beef cattle and cash crop operation in 1971. In 1985 Harry and Paula retired with the second generation brothers, Gerald and Fred, now at the helm eager to grow and feed their passion for the beef business.  

Along with expanding their beef business, their families grew as well over the years with both brothers having a daughter and two sons. The third generation is now also taking up the family tradition. Gerald’s two sons, Kurtis and Jaron, and Fred’s son, Brendon, are actively involved in the current farming operation and they continue to pass on their passion for the land and animals to the fourth generation of Van Osch farmers.
