Bryan’s Farm & Industrial Supply is celebrating 50 years in business.
Bryan’s was founded in 1970 by Bryan Lillycrop, who began selling tractors from his family’s market garden farm in Waterdown, Ont., to serve the local and rural communities in the area.
Bryan’s Farm & Industrial Supply grew from these humble roots where Bryan found his passion was helping other farmers find affordable equipment. In 1972, Bryan’s held its first auction. In the early years, auctions sold mostly agricultural or farm related items.

Although Bryan is now retired, the company remains in the family with Bryan’s son Ken Lillycrop, at the helm. Bryan’s has also grown to become an online auction powerhouse with expertise in remarketing surplus equipment from the municipal, construction and agriculture sectors.
In addition to the auction location in Puslinch, Ont., the company recently expanded to the Quinte West, Ont. region with a 20,000 sq. ft. indoor facility in Trenton sitting on six acres of fenced, secured land.
“At Bryan’s we have always operated on the simple belief that if we do what we say we will do, be of strong character, and true to our word then things will work out in the end. I have insisted that my family and employees follow my principles,” says Bryan Lillycrop.
There will be give aways and contests through the year, along with a vintage car and tractor show at May 21 at the Puslinch location.
