Farming

 

Located in the rural community of Northampton, New Brunswick Canada. Our gently rolling 348 acres of farm land are all Certified Organic.

We raise our animals with plenty of space, air, natural sunlight, clean bedding and water to promote good health without chemical intervention. We use no hormones or stimulants as our healthy rations are sufficient. Most of our livestock are pastured for the summer on our Certified Organic land, and during the winter months are fed the organic forage we have harvested. We mix our own grain rations from wholesome grains that we grow ourselves or purchase from local farmers we know. All our poultry are processed on site in our own licensed abattoir while the larger animals are sent to a local, conscientious operator.

Our mixed farm consists of:
• A small dairy for the production of cheeses.
• A commercial size grass fed-to-finish cow/calf beef operation specializing in registered Galloways.
• A small farrow-to-finish operation on grass featuring the heritage breed of Tamworth pigs.
• A commercial and registered flock of Polypay sheep.
• Grass fed chickens.
• A small farm size flock of hens.
• A small fruit and a large fruit orchard, consisting of plums, pears, apples, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries all used either in our value added products or for direct sales.
• A market garden for CSA plans and farm gate sales.
• Country Kitchen producing a full line of value added products to our farm production: meat pies, quiche pies, dessert pies, cookie logs, granola, etc.
• Our own Farm Market stand open seasonally for all our products.
• And for those looking for a beautiful companion dog or a guard dog against predators, we raise and sell beautiful, purebred Great Pyrenees dogs.
