Our Farm
Becaguimec Farm (pronounced “beck-a-gwi-meck”) is a mixed livestock farm established in 2013, by John Best and Emily Shapiro at the forks of the Becaguimec Stream. Along with Veal, the farm raises Dairy Cows, Pigs, Chickens, Turkeys, and Guinea Fowl. Because we are concerned about the wellbeing of our animals, the health of our streams and forest, and the quality of the food we sell and e
at, our farm is in transition to being Certified Organic (October 2014). Our livestock is always raised without regular hormones or antibiotics and would only receive medication when medically necessary, like you and me. From spring to fall they relish life in the pasture, in winter months they live in large pens, together with companions. By creating comfortable, clean, and stress free living conditions, our animals are healthy and rarely if ever require medication. Prevention of illness is the key. Small herd and flock sizes, good feed, and access to pasture allow our animals to thrive. Buying Our Meat
Our pork and veal is sold by the side or whole animal. Chicken and turkey can be ordered in the spring and are sold in the fall. Our veal is also sold at Real Food Connections in Fredericton, New Brunswick in smaller quantities. To inquire about buying veal and pork by the side (approximately 150lbs) or whole veal (approximately 300lbs) contact John at [email protected] or call 506.425.0765. The farm is open by appointment only.
