  Description

  We are an off-grid sustainable organic farm in eastern Ontario specializing in beef, chicken, lamb, turkey, pork, vegetables and fruit. We are a small farm that attends farmers' markets and sells to local grocery stores and restaurants. As a New Zealand farmer living in Canada, I grow all my animals on grass. The farm utilizes rotational grazing. The vegetables and fruit grown on the farm are primarily for our consumption but my wife also has a vast menu of farm to fork foods to sell at the market.
