OUR STORY
First Generation Farmers
In 2015 we purchased our first farm, a modest 3 acre property in Mapleton Township. The small farm allowed us to learn and grow but we quickly realized we needed more space. In 2019 we purchased and move to our 'forever' farm, a 100 acre parcel just outside the town of Damascus.
​
We are proud to be serving Wellington County providing local and sustainably raised pasture meats, free range eggs, and seasonal products.
OUR MISSION & VALUES
Besides our love for animal husbandry and sustainably working our land we value knowing exactly how and where our food comes from, and sharing that with our community.
We are committed to farming without compromising our precious resources so our sons, and future generations can continue to do the same.
We are advocates for accessible, local, nutritious, affordable food for all. We use the farm to raise funds supporting organizations with similar values and promote grow your own with our vegetaBALES initiative.
