Founded by Irish immigrants, Wilson Farm has been in operation at its present location since 1884. James Alexander Wilson, W.M. Wilson, and brother-in-law George Reynolds came to Lexington from Enniskillen, Ireland. Here they were able to buy 16 acres of land and rent some of the surrounding fields for farming. James A. Wilson was the salesman, and the other partners worked the farm, growing vegetable crops and plants. Included among them were: cabbage, white turnip, celery, carrots, and beets. In the late 1800’s farmers from Lexington and nearby towns had to take their produce to Boston to sell at Quincy Market. In the evening many small farmers would bring their product to James A. Wilson, who would combine the partial loads in order to fill the market wagons. These market wagons were pulled by teams of road horses, as the work horses were retired for the day. On the return trip from market, the wagon would stop at the Boston area hotels and pick up garbage to be used to feed the pigs. If the driver fell asleep (as this sometimes happened), the horses knew the roads and could find their own way home. During the winter months, trips to the market were less frequent, thus vegetables were stored in pits. These pits were covered with salt marsh hay and boards - maintaining the temperature at 34-36°F until all the vegetables were sold at market. Slow winter days were spent in the barn repairing equipment.

A. McLelland & Son Ltd was founded in 1850. Our beginnings can be traced back to when grocer and grain merchant, Archibald McLelland, bartered his goods in return for fine dairy produce. A great entrepreneur of the Victorian era, he spotted the rapidly growing market in industrial Glasgow and steered his business towards wholesaling, starting with a stall in the cheese sections of Glasgow’s fruit market. By the 20th century, Glasgow has its own cheese market and McLelland became one of the city’s most distinctive merchants. Today, we have joined forces with Lactalis, who have brought their expertise and know-how as Europe’s leading dairy manufacturer. Our company is now known as Lactalis McLelland and we are one of Britain’s largest producers of cheddar cheese. We remain in Glasgow and with our leading brands, we continue to offer the highest quality cheese through all of Britain’s major retailers.
