Fernlea farmyard, Port Levy
1900
Richard Fleming (1819-1894) and family arrived on the Randolph in 1850 and took up land, calling their property Fernlea. Part of the original homestead can be seen in the centre of the photograph. Cheese was produced here and the chimney of the cheese factory can be seen. However, grass seed was found to be more profitable than cheese and Fleming was one of the farmers who pioneered the commercial cultivation of cocksfoot in Canterbury. His first harvest was in 1853-1854
