Stirling

organic produce, pork, poultry

“We are husband and wife and first generation farmers who have chosen to leave their city jobs to run an ecologically sound small farm in Stirling-Rawdon in the County of Hastings. We employ Organic growing methods to provide you and your family with nutritionally dense food.

We run a 50 member CSA weekly vegetable baskets in the main growing season and pasture raise chickens, turkeys and pigs.
Our animals are raised on pasture to allow them to show their natural “animalness”!
Vegetables are grown using only Certified Organic seed. We grow using no pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. We fertilize our market garden using kelp, glacial rock dust and our animal’s and green manures.

The garden is cultivated by a team of Suffolk Punch draft horses. This reduces our need for fossil fuel and helps reduce soil compaction.”
