We grow a large variety of vegetables, all free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, available all year round. Whether its leafy greens grown early in the greenhouse, field crops in the summer like beans and cauliflower, or storage crops in the winter such as carrots and sweet potatoes, we can provide food for you and your family!
PigsA herd of heritage breed pigs also lives on the farm. There's 4 sows which are purebred Berkshire or Berkshire/Hereford cross, and a pure Berkshire Boar. The sows each have 2 litters of piglets each year making for lots of hogs in the barn.

The sheep and llamas are the most loved animals on the farm! We have a small mixed flock of Texels and Horned Dorsets. They are out on the pasture from May to December and housed in the barn during the winter months. The always eat a diet of 100% forage so we can provide customers with grass fed/finished lamb. Then there's Poncho and Chico the llamas.
Laying HensThe laying hens have been kept inside the past couple years due to the Avian Flu outbreaks in the province. Not sure when we will feel safe putting them back outside. For now they have a large room in the barn with straw for bedding and nest boxes to lay their eggs in.
