Every evening the turkeys have “turkey bedtime” and 9 times out of 10 they kind of understand the assignment.

We’ll have fresh free range turkey available this fall. Reach out to let us know if you’d like one held for your family’s Thanksgiving dinner

Small-scale farmers are sustainable by nature.

We understand that a healthy planet is what makes it possible to grow the food we eat. Each year, winter manure and leftover hay are returned to the fields, naturally supporting soil health. Much of the equipment we use is decades old—carefully maintained and passed down through generations. Our livestock are raised using pasture and silvopasture systems, grazing land that isn’t suitable for cropping and turning it into thriving, productive ecosystems. We also source most of our grain locally, helping reduce the carbon footprint tied to long-distance shipping.

Even today’s project reflects that mindset—we’re repurposing used fruit syrup barrels into feeders for our piglets instead of buying new.

To be a farmer is to respect the earth and recognize the true value in making the most of what we already have.

Delish pulled pork made from last year’s stock.

We’ll be offering whole and sides of pork once again in later 2026.

Meet the ladies (and gentlemen) of the farm

We’ve been pretty quiet on social media lately as things have been busy.

We welcomed our first home bred calves to the farm this spring. This is a new experience for Joey and I as we had never calved out cows before; luckily everything went textbook and now we have 3 lovely heifers (girls) and one bull (boy) to add to the herd.

Next up is hay season, we are hoping to get in the fields in early July as soon as the weather permits.

Enjoy some baby spam, y’all!

We experienced many challenges this past year. The hardest being the loss of Sunny in March.

That said, we persevered and finished the year with many personal and agricultural wins which we’ll reflect on today.

In early spring we introduced pigs to our farm, Rachel became certified in AI (artificial insemination) and began breeding our heifers, this summer we welcomed Charlie to our family, baled the highest number of acres to date (and kept all of our old equipment running by the skin of our teeth), began our silvopasture project, and most important: received fantastic feedback on the increasingly good quality of our farm-raised meats.

This past year has taught us the importance of keeping our eyes on our goals while also working in enough down time to ensure we keep our stamina and maintain good mental health. Quality is better than quantity and the flame must always remain lit or else what is this all for.

Cheers to a 2025 full of continued learning, growing and self care.

Some “food” for thought

We will begin taking orders for our fall 2025 beef shortly. Here are some reasons to consider buying a whole, side or quarter beef:

🥩 you are supporting local farmers who support the local economy

🥩 you know where your food comes from and how the livestock was raised. In fact most farmers will allow visitors to come see the animals and where they live. We’re an open book!

🥩 your meat was raised in Canada and therefore followed all Canadian animal husbandry requirements to ensure livestock lived quality, healthy lives

🥩 the overall cost per lb is much lower compared to grocery store cuts

🥩 you customize how you want all of your meat cut and packaged based on your families’ needs

🥩 your meat is flash frozen after packaging and will easily last well over a year in your freezer tasting just as fresh as grocery store cuts

🥩 all meat sold in Canada must be processed at a licensed facility. Farmers are required to make sure there are no antibiotics or medication in your meat before processing and all meat is inspected before being packaged and sold

Any questions? DM us!

Happy BBQing!
