Hi there, This is my favorite time of the year.  You can almost watch the grass grow. The hens are enjoying all of the greens they can eat out on their pasture. They are on the chicory pasture again. Chicory contains compounds that naturel help the hens resist some common parasites. This is better ...

Hi there, What a beautiful Sunday afternoon!  Our cows are now fully back on pasture, enjoying the grass, the sunshine, and maybe even the view!  At Holdanca significant effort is put into managing the pasture so the cows and sheep can graze as many days as possible.   Every day that they can h...

Hi there, Sheep and chickens are a big focus at Holdanca in April.  Lambing will begin in early May (we did have a few "mistakes" as you can see!).  That meant we had to shear the ewes.  A shorn ewe lets me see how close they are to lambing and lets the lambs easily find the ewes udder.   Our ...

Looking for some lamb for Easter weekend? We have lamb legs (about 4-5 pounds each), loin chops, ground, shanks, and stew from our own grass-fed lambs. We also have these decadent rosemary orange lamb loins, boneless and ready for the oven. Weighing just over a pound, they are a perfect size for two to share. I am delivering to the Warehouse market in Halifax today where you can purchase Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. If you are closer to Wallace Bay I can prepare some for you at Holdanca in Wallace if you let me know what you need.

Hi there, Spring is in the air, some days anyway. The cows and sheep certainly feel that way as they file their annual complaint that they want pasture and not hay. Believe it or not, the grass is already beginning to grow on the warmer days.  Green tips are emerging from dormancy.  This is what ...

Hi there, Sarah Jenny and Winnie are happy that the snow has mostly melted. Although donkeys are a tough creature, they evolved in a drier desert-like environment.  Snow isn't what they prefer. You can see by their unkempt hair style that they do have a substantial fur coat on, so they can cope wi...
