Redtail Farms

Redtail Farms Three Generations.Looking Seven Generations Forward. This sense of responsibility guides our farming practices.

Redtail Farms is located 3 kilometers south of Castor, Alberta, on a rich mix of rejuvenated grasslands and wetlands. Our father, Richard Griebel, had a pioneering vision for healing both land and people through food, and understood the integral role that grazing animals on prairie grasses play in realizing these goals. We continue to move this dream forward, working in a way that builds topsoil a

nd biodiversity, sustains a third generation family farm and provides a nutrient dense product for our customers.

[RE]generation: We are committed to ensuring that the land is continually regenerated through the presence of our animals on the land. Using rotational and intensive grazing techniques we look to mimic the bison that so deeply defined the soils and ecology of our area. We believe that when enacted properly agriculture is an opportunity for ecological rejuvenation, and a sustainable future for generations to come.

[RE]lationships: Food is not simply a means of sustenance, it is an opportunity for social and ecological connection. Through the production and distribution of our local, sustainable meats we hope to be the intermediaries between resilient ecological systems and healthy communities and families. When eating our products we hope that you experience this sense of connection and reciprocity.

[RE]sponsibility: Instilled into all our practices and products is a dedication towards our environment, community and future generations. To slightly paraphrase an old adage, "We do not [only] inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children".

Imagine migrating to this frozen, windswept country for the winter. The Snowy Owl — a true survivalist, and one of the most breathtaking birds in the wild.

Costa Rica, we love you. 🇨🇷🌿
This just might be one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The pride Costa Ricans have in preserving their natural wonders is so evident everywhere you go. I’ve never witnessed nature in such abundance and beauty. Here are just a few shots of the incredible creatures we encountered along the way. So proud of the kiddos for hanging in there through extreme roads and some seriously creepy critters! And to the Hildreths—you are our travel people. ❤️✈️

Ran into a whole lot of moose while moving cows this morning. Moose calves are in good shape from summer’s green grass, and their mother’s milk.

Sometimes we take familiar species for granted and forget how truly unique—and downright bizarre—they can be. Imagine seeing a creature that moves like a sloth but is covered in thousands of tiny, sharp quills. Encountering a porcupine for the first time can feel like spotting an alien.
