Fresh Duck

DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE!
(OK - no goose!)


Today, we picked up our flock of Muscovy Duck. They will be available for sale - fresh this weekend (September 16 & 17).

If you have not tried duck before then it is time. Your tastebuds will thank you! Duck is delicious and a wonderful change from chicken or beef.

We will be here at the farm Saturday from 10 - 4. Please drop by.

The duck are $3.75\lb and range in size from 5 to 7 pounds.

After Saturday, we will have only frozen available.

See you Saturday!
Please call if you need directions to the farm.

Hay There!

What are most farmers across Ontario doing right now? If you guessed, cutting, raking and baleing hay, then you are right. The weather has been just right for those who need hay to feed their livestock during the winter months.

Some may know the work that is involved in hay production. You go like crazy for about two weeks to get the hay into the barn - everything else in life is secondary. "Got to make hay while the sun shines!" is what many farmers say.

Hay is a combination of perennial grasses, around this part of Southern Ontario you will see alfalfa in the mix with grasses such as Timothy and Fescue. A good healthy mix will enable you to have quality feed for your animals during the winter months.

Last month,we held our first "Chicken Day" for the 2011 season. We had a great turn out and saw some new faces come out for a visit to the farm. We still do have some chicken available, for those who could not make it.

The gardens are also doing well. This week we will see available: shallots, Chiogga beets, peas (shell, snow, snap), new potatoes, brocolloi, red onions, and various types of lettuce.

If you are interested in beef, chicken or vegtables give us a call to arrange a time to come by.

Fresh Chicken - Saturday June 25, 2011

Chicken Day will take place on Saturday June 25, 2011. It seems like along time since we have had fresh chicken but the winter was long.

For those that have not been out to our farm before we raise pasture raised chicken. The chickens are free to range and forage outside during the daytime in the grass. Many of the chickens also love to soak up the sun!

If you are wanting to know where your food comes from and looking to provide yourself and family with healthy choices and a healthy product then purchasing your food directly from the grower is essential. We do not feed our animals growth hormones and pride ourselves on providing them healthy feed and a healthy living environment.

Please come by Saturday June 25th to visit. If you are interested in purchasing a few chickens please call us to plave your order. 519 232-4105.

We have also become suppliers for the Optimist Club of Lucan's current fundraiser, the winner will recieve a BBQ Frezer package worth $500.00. You can mix it up with our beef - Balck Angus steaks, roasts, ground beef, burger patties and chicken. We have tickets available ($2 each or 3 for $5.00) Proceeds do go to the Optimist Club of Lucan.

Hope to see everyone on June 25th!

Spring is finally here!

It took awhile this year but I do think it is safe to say that winter is now behind us. Work on the farm in spring is a busy one. We have fences to mend, calves being born, new baby chicks to check in on, and a season to ready for.

We do have our first batch of chickens, they are doing well and just about ready to head outside. Last weekend we spent most of Sunday moving them from their "nursery" to their "adult" home. In a few days when they have grown a few more feathers and the sun warms up abit more we can open the door on their coop and let them enjoy the sun.

We will have fresh chicken available in late June. If you are interested in getting on the chicken list, give us a call. 519 232-4105 to place your order.

We have just filled the freezers with steaks, roats, ground beef and boxes of hamburger patties. The hamburger patties are a great idea to have in your freezer now that BBQ season is here.

We always enjoy the visits from our customers, we'd love to show you around the farm. Come by for a visit soon if you have not been by lately.

Wintertime

It is winter and we have just had another snowfall. It is always a pretty scene when the fresh snow has just fallen.

During the winter months we still are busy on the farm. The animals are all inside the barn where it is warm. We have our cattle, chickens and our pet horses and the token goat all kept warm and dry. There are still many chores to be done daily.

At this time we have Black Angus beef, Berkshire pork, whole chicken and duck, as well as farm fresh eggs for sale. We are busy planning for those summer months when we will once again have pasture raised chicken and ducks running around.

If you are interested in our farm products, give us a call.
