Our Farming Practices
We raise our animals on over 330 acres of farmland in Curran, Ontario. Our pasture-based and regenerative farming practices help protect the environment and naturally help build nutrient-rich soil to create thriving ecosystems.
We want the best for our family and yours, too. The products that we sell are from animals raised without any synthetic hormones or antibiotics — and we’re always transparent about what we feed our animals. We want you to know where your food is from and how it's produced.
Pasture-Raised Chicken
Raised from May until the end of October, the chickens are housed in custom-built mobile coops that provide them protection from predators, as well as shade and shelter. They are moved to fresh pasture daily where they are able to eat fresh grass, scratch the soil, and forage for worms and insects. They are also fed a 100% plant-based, conventional grain mix as they cannot get proper nutrition from grass and insects alone. Our birds have full outdoor access and can seek shade or shelter at any time.
Our chickens are processed at a local, family-owned small processing plant that is provincially inspected. We sell our chicken by the whole and half bird, as well as individual cuts, and sell various prepared items such as sausages, bone broth, liver pâté, and more.
After the processing of a batch (usually 8 per season) before stocking up our freezers for the year, we offer our chicken FRESH for purchase at markets we visit, and for special home delivery in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. Our Fresh Chicken Dates are announced through our newsletters, or can be viewed on our website here.
Pastured, Free-Range/Free-Run Eggs
We raise our layers all year round. Just like our broiler chickens, our egg-laying hens are kept on pasture during the growing season, where they can eat grass and dig for worms and insects. Then, in the winter months, they are kept warm in our spacious barns with heated, sawdust-lined floors and are fed a 100% plant-based, conventional grain mix.
The eggs are collected, washed, candled, checked for cracks, and graded at our own grading station, and packaged right on the farm which allows us to bring you the freshest eggs! Our eggs are graded into different sizes, and are sold by the dozen and in flats of 30.
Grass-Fed Beef
Our cattle are 100% grass-fed, meaning they only eat grass in the growing season, and hay (dried grass) + silage in the winter, never grain-fed.
Our cows live outdoors and are moved daily to fresh sections of pasture through strip grazing, this form of pasture management allows them to have fresh grass while helping us manage our fields and build healthy pastures. Even in the winter months, they have regular access to the outdoors to get some sun, fresh air, and exercise.
Our beef is processed at a licensed abattoir and sold as various cuts, including offal such as liver, tongue, heart. We also sell prepared items such as sausages, bone broth, and cured meats. All our products are sold in in vacuum-sealed bags.
Pastured Pork
We began raising pigs for the first time in 2025. Our pigs are raised fully outdoors where they root in the ground, and are fed conventional pig feed, scraps from the farm, cooked eggs(from our layers that do not pass grading), hay, straw, and silage. They have access to a covered barn filled with hay, where they sleep and keep warm.
Our pork is processed at a licensed abattoir and sold in various cuts, offal, as well as smoked bacon, ham, sausages, and more. Our offerings are packaged vacuum-sealed.
Pastured Rabbit
We began raising rabbits for the first time in the summer of 2024. Raised and now bred on the farm, the rabbits are housed in custom-built mobile coops that provide them protection from predators, as well as shade and shelter. They are moved to fresh pasture not just once but twice a day, as they eat primarily grass, and lots of it!
Past Production
Dairy, Grass-Fed *
* We no longer produce dairy on the farm. We stopped our production in 2023.
Past Production
Real Veal**
**With the end of our dairy production in 2023, we no longer offer veal.
How we raised veal back when we had dairy cows: Raised differently from the conventional industry, our calves were born on pastures, and stayed with and fed from their moms. Mom, of course, was on pasture and ate grass, and soon after, the calves learned to do the same. The calves enjoyed a mixed diet, being able to choose milk from mom or grass from our pastures. They were raised as naturally as possible with little to no human intervention. Our veal was also raised longer than the industry standard in Canada.
