Throughout history, it has taken a farm to raise a family, sustain a community, and secure a productive future for all three.
In Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, the Thorne family embodies this timeless connection at Orchard Lane Family Farm.
Nestled on Route 114 in historic Hopewell Cape (2021 population est., 597), approximately halfway between Hillsborough and Riverside Albert, this farm operates from a stately farmhouse with deep community roots dating back to 1845, when the hamlet served as the former Shiretown of Albert County.
Ryan is a teacher and his wife Nancy is a school librarian and administrative assistant. The couple run the farm alongside their three children: Oscar (14), George (12), and Pearl (10). Together with occasional help from extended family, they're building more than just a business—they're cultivating a sustainable legacy.
