SandyRae Farms is located in Brooklyn, PEI. Dannie & Christine, along with their son Alex & Katie, run a sixth-generation dairy farm. Dannie took over in 1982, while Alex joined in on the family business in 2013. They currently milk 72 cows three times a day in a tie stall barn with a pipeline system, all while focusing on raising high-quality cows and breeding stock. They’re passionate about soil health, growing nutritious feed, and taking care of the environment. As a 4-H family, they also love to teach and share their farm’s story with visitors. Farming is a demanding lifestyle, but for the MacKinnon’s, the reward is in caring for their animals and the land they love.
