The Battle of Baker's Farm took place in Lower Canada on November 8, 1838, during the Patriot's War. It was the first and last military success of the Patriotes in the campaign of 1838. 800 Patriotes gathered on a farm near Sainte-Martine, Quebec, and fought off several attacks by Loyalist volunteers. After news of the defeat of Patriote forces at the Battle of Odelltown spread, the massed Patriotes dispersed before the arrival of British troops.
